When you think of iconic horse teams, the Budweiser Clydesdales are probably the first that come to mind. These magnificent gentle giants have captivated audiences for generations through their powerful presence in advertising campaigns and live appearances. But beyond the glitz and glamour of television commercials, these remarkable horses are also ambassadors for good—and recently proved it in the most heartwarming way.
A Surprise Delivery With Heart
During their nationwide tour, the Budweiser Clydesdales team made a special stop at Far View Horse Rescue in Colorado—and they came bearing gifts. An eight-horse hitch, magnificently pulling the famous red wagon, arrived with an incredible donation: 4,000 pounds of premium grain for the rescue’s horses. The gift came from Purina Animal Nutrition, who understood that partnering with the Clydesdales would make this delivery truly unforgettable.
The staff and volunteers at Far View Horse Rescue were absolutely thrilled. As Page Van Meter, a dedicated volunteer, explains: “Finding homes for horses can be tricky sometimes, so at Far View Horse Rescue we work together with the horse and the volunteers to get that horse to a level where adoption is possible.” This generous donation helps make that mission possible.
Healing Horses, Building Futures
Far View Horse Rescue’s dedication to their animals goes beyond just providing food and shelter. Farm Manager Carol Bush shares the rescue’s core philosophy: “Our focus is to help horses heal from whatever problems they have had in the past and then have them adopted out into homes that are appropriate for that particular animal.”
This philosophy guides every decision at the rescue. Each horse that arrives has their own story, their own challenges, and their own path to recovery. The donated grain will fuel the nutrition these horses need as they heal and prepare for their forever homes.
