Top 5 Clydesdale Gifts of the Season
If you’re looking for a holiday gift that’s meaningful, unforgettable, and bigger than anything you can wrap … you’ve trotted into the right barn.
At JFP Equine in Waterloo, IL, we specialize in bringing people closer to the world’s most iconic horse. This season, we’ve rounded up our Top 5 Clydesdale Gifts that make jaws drop, hearts melt, and recipients frequently say something like:
“You got me WHAT?!”
Let’s get gifting.
1. The Ultimate Clydesdale Experience
Our most popular gift — and for good reason.
This is our cornerstone offering - two hours of Clydesdale awesomeness in ultra small micro groups (no more than four at a time) at our JFP Equine barn in Waterloo, IL.
This two-hour, intimate, hands-on session includes:
Meetin’, greetin’, pettin’ and picture takin’ with the legendary JFP Equine Clydesdales
Grooming, petting, brushing and vacuuming (yes, you can vacuum a Clydesdale!)
Feeding, treating and bonding moments
Epic photo ops you’ll never forget
Stories, fun facts, and inside access to life with Clydesdales
All weaved through the unique and unmatched story of JFP Equine
It’s personal. It’s immersive. It’s the kind of gift people talk about for months (and by months we mean years).
2026 gift cards available. Instant holiday hero status included.
2. Clydesdale ‘Backstage’ Meet N’ Greet
Shorter and simpler than our Ultimate Clydesdale Experience, but still absolutely magical.
Meet N' Greets are private, your group (of up to 10) only. Meetin', greetin', pettin' and picture takin' with each of the JFP Equine Clydesdales.
Perfect for kids, grandparents, friends, couples, and anyone who wants the magical Clydesdale moments without the two-hour window. Plus, a little larger group.
Book a Clydesdale ‘Backstage’ Meet N’ Greet today with your group OR gift one for 2026. Check out details here OR contact us for availability and booking.
3. A Real Clydesdale Horseshoe (Worn by the Boys Themselves)
Not a replica. Not a novelty item.
A real, full-sized Clydesdale horseshoe actually worn by one of our iconic JFP Equine horses. Maybe Ace. Maybe Fred. Maybe even Flame, Rocket or one of our other in-house all stars!
Each shoe is cleaned, refurbished, and prepared for display.
These shoes carry stories, miles, and moments, making them a truly one-of-a-kind gift.
Show it off in your home or gift it for good luck.
The number of shoes available are limited. The amount of the "wait ... THAT'S the size of their feet?!" reactions you'll get are not.
4. A Clydesdale! (Yes. An Actual Clydesdale)
This gift only shows up on very special Christmas mornings — but it does happen.
We’ve seen husbands surprise wives … wives surprise husbands … and families decide it’s finally time to bring home the horse of their dreams.
A Clydesdale wrapped in a giant bow? It’s real. It’s spectacular.
And yes - proper land, a barn, feed, and daily care are required. Minor details, right?
If you’re serious about adding a Clydesdale to your life, we’ll guide you through the process and help match you with the right horse.
5. Fun Clydesdale T-Shirts (Perfect for Every Stocking)
Not every gift needs to weigh 2,000 pounds … some just need personality.
Our JFP Equine T-shirts are fan favorites, featuring bold designs and the kind of humor only a true Clydesdale lover appreciates. There’s several to choose from, whether you are looking for a more classic design OR one with a touch of humor.
They’re soft, wearable year-round, and guaranteed to spark conversations.
The best part? You can wear one proudly without ever needing to feed it, groom it, or build it a barn.
The perfect stocking stuffer for anyone who proudly claims, “Clydesdales are my personality.”
Big Horses. Big Hearts. Big Holiday Moments.
Whether you’re giving an experience, a keepsake, or - yes - an actual horse, every Clydesdale gift shares the same magic:
It brings people closer to something bigger, gentler, and more meaningful than they ever expected.
Hope you and yours have a Clydesdale-sized holiday and a very Merry Christmas … from all of us (yes, including our BIG boys themselves) at JFP Equine!
