HKS CLYDESDALES

Duxbury, Ma
After 20 years in the business, our team ranges in age from young and learning, through golden years of retirement. Each of our Clydesdales has an individual personality, which naturally creates his or her place in the team.
Meet Our Team Of Clydesdales
Kramer, born in 2005, was purchased as Cosmo's teammate and they enjoyed their time together. Today, he spends his limited worktime with Ritz. He will try anything we ask and his work ethic is unmatched by anyone else in the barn.
Kramer
Ritz was born in 2008 and purchased by Mallory Hayes as an addition to the team in 2014. He and Kramer make a tidy team together in the show ring and an easy team to drive for hayrides. Ritz is as easygoing as they come and loves the energy and attention of children.
Ritz
Lady Bridget was born in 2011 and has already established her lead role in the hitch next to Levi. She was purchased by Lexi and Phil in the Summer of 2020 from Wismer Clydesdales and was already in foal with an Iron Horse MM Steele baby, who was born February 2021. She is bred back to MM Steele for an April 2023 baby.
Bridget
Levi
In 2014, Levi was born in Canada. Levi was purchased in April, 2019 at the National Clydesdale Sale by Katy and Jay Ford. He is quite a show horse and is making his way into the lead of the hitch. He enjoys his days in the field with the herd of boys; but would rather be spoiled by Katy!
Thatcher was born in 2018 and bred at Shining Meadows Clydesdales in West Virginia. We went looking for size and with Thatcher, we got it. He's still growing, but already stands taller than his buddy Nick. He's learning how to be a great wheel horse for our hitch.
Thatcher
Nick came to us as a riding horse in 2015, but has learned and earned his place in the wheel of the hitch. Nick has been a steadfast teacher for young Thatcher. He spends his leisure time with his friends Thatcher and Red in the turn out. With all the willing riders, he still likes being a trail horse, too.
Nick
Shining Meadows Timothy, affectionately known as "Timmy," is Thatcher's little brother. He spends his days growing big to catch up to his brother, before his official training starts. Since he was born in February 2020, there will be a few years of growing before he fits into a harness.
Timmy
Carl
Carl was born in 2007 and purchased in the spring of 2011. Carl is sweet and steady and always aims to please. In harness, he is most comfortable following his leaders and working in the team. He loves going on trail rides and finding all the mud in the pasture.

Harley
Harley was born on a wintery February night in 2021. Her mother Bridget did an amazing job bringing her into this world. Harley is as feisty as her mother and loves her meal times. She spends her days growing in the pasture with her "Uncle Carl," who shows her the best ways to get muddy.
