There’s something magical about a newborn foal, and the equestrian world is buzzing with excitement over the latest arrival at Warm Springs Ranch in Boonville, Missouri. Just before dawn on Tuesday, the Budweiser Clydesdale family welcomed their newest and tiniest member: an absolutely adorable baby foal named Mac. Already stealing hearts on social media, this little guy has fans rooting for him to star in this year’s Super Bowl commercial!
A Legacy of Strength and Tradition
Since 1876, Budweiser has been synonymous with quality, strength, and American pride. But it’s the iconic Clydesdales that have truly become the face of the brand, captivating audiences for nearly a century. In 1933, August A. Busch Jr. and Adolphus Busch introduced these magnificent horses to celebrate the end of Prohibition—a gesture that would spark one of advertising’s most beloved traditions.
Today, these gentle giants represent far more than just beer marketing. The Budweiser Clydesdales have become cultural icons, appearing in heartwarming Super Bowl commercials that resonate with viewers across the nation. Their strength, grace, and noble presence embody the values that Budweiser has stood for throughout its storied history.
Welcome to the Family, Mac!
Warm Springs Ranch, home to all 160 Budweiser Clydesdales, is a sprawling 25,000-square-foot facility that serves as headquarters for this legendary horse family. While the Clydesdales are headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, they travel across the United States in different promotional teams throughout the year, bringing joy and wonder to horse lovers everywhere.
Mac’s name is a tribute to the iconic legacy of the Budweiser Clydesdales themselves. “Mac’s name is a nod to the iconic legacy of the Budweiser Clydesdales, the most macro of all icons, representing Budweiser’s quality for more than 80 years,” Anheuser-Busch shared in a statement. This little foal represents the continuation of a beautiful tradition that spans generations.
