JAN 2010 COLLECTIBLE FROM WESTLAND GIFTWARE
Revolutionary Warhorse Figurine
|
In 1776, huge Clydesdale draft horses were used to pull heavy canon, artillery, and supplies to aid in The War for independence. The gentle giants, with their calm dispositions yet incredible strength, stood fast in the heat of battle, and were there to provide arms and relief to the American soldiers. This majestic Clydesdale wears the uniform of the Continental Army, and is emblazoned with the circular stars of the first American flag, a tribute to its vital role in the American Revolutionary War. The Clydesdale: Descended from the massive warhorses of Medieval Europe, the Clydesdale horse is known for its massive size and extreme strength, yet gentle nature. Although used in battle throughout pre-industrial history, Clydesdales are now more commonly used as work horses to pull heavy loads, such as plowing equipment and wagons. Today, working horses are utilized for parade use, as well as in competition, and have enjoyed a new-found popularity in past decades.
