The Budweiser Clydesdales are the beverage industry's most recognizable mascots, and you can meet these famous horses by visiting the Anheuser-Busch Brewery right here in Merrimack, New Hampshire.

In 1933, August A. Busch, Jr. gave a hitch of Clydesdales to his father in celebration of the resumption of brewing in St. Louis following the repeal of Prohibition. Clydesdales--a powerful breed of draft horses--originated in the Clyde valley of Scotland, and they are known for the distinctive, feathery hair on their fetlocks--the lower parts of their legs above and behind the hooves.

Originally, farmers living in the 19th century along the banks of the River Clyde in Lanarkshire, Scotland bred the Great Flemish Horse, the forerunner of the Clydesdale. In the mid 1800's, Canadians of Scottis descent brought the first Clydesdales to the United States, where today they are primarily used for breeding and for show.

To qualify for the Budweiser hitch, a Clydesdale must be a gelding at least four years of age. He must stand 6 feet at the shoulder when fully mature, weigh between 1,800 and 2,300 pounds, be bay in color, have four white stocking feet, a blaze of white on the face, and a black mane and tail.

Each harness and collar weighs approximately 130 pounds, and is handcrafted from brass and leather. Pure linen thread is used for the stitching.

Dalmatians have traveled with the Clydesdales since the 1950's. Dalmatians have long been associated with horses and valued for their speed, endurance and dependable nature. Today, the Dalmatians are perched atop the wagon, seated next to the driver.

These high stepping horses make hundreds of public appearances every year, in addition to appearing in television commercials and other Budweiser Beer advertising.

The hitch of Clydesdales here in New Hampshire are just one of several owned by Budweiser, which offers free tours of it's brewery located at 221 Daniel Webster Highway, just off Route 3 at Exit 10.

Visitors are welcome to visit the Clydesdales at their picturesque stables on the property. You can usually find 8-10 Clydesdales at their stables which are open to the public free of charge all year around.

The first Saturday of every month is Clydesdale Camera Day, when visitors have the opportunity to get up close and take plenty of pictures.

New Hampshire Deer Hunting Series Part Two of Two, Firearm Deer Season opens this coming Wednesday 11 November 2009, and goes through to the 6th of December 2009 .

Seeing that we have many homes for sale near and even in the woods, and seeing lots of folks enjoy going out in to the woods near their homes. And seeing that New Hampshire hunters are able to hunt in just about any woods in the State. I'd like ask that Home Buyers, Real Estate Agents, and all those that enjoy going out into the woods of New Hampshire, please use Caution at this time of year. You just may want to think about wearing some kind of Hunter Orange clothing when your going to near the woods.

Hunter Orange Shirt

Being a hunter myself, it sure makes me sad to have to say this. But the truth of it is, there are some hunters, that just don't think once they get out into the woods!

New Hampshire Deer Hunting Series Part Two of Two, Now I'd sure like to ask all my fellow hunters to use the Rules For Safe Hunting, when your out in the woods.

Control the muzzle of your firearm. It should be pointed in a safe direction at all times. Treat every firearm as if it were losded!

Be sure of your target and look beyond, before you ever raise your firearm or draw your bow.

Wear hunter orange to make yourself more visible to other hunters. Never assume you are alone in the woods.

Hunter in New Hampshire Woods

Although the State of New Hampshire dose not require us to wear Hunter Orange, but the State of New Hampshire dose give us a Hunter Orange Recommendation.

New Hampshire Deer Hunting Series Part Two of Two, Hunter Orange Recommendation: Any person hunting with a firearm or bow during New Hampshire hunting seasons, except for a person iegally hunting waterfowl, should wear a hat, vest or other suitable article of clothing of material in the color of Hunter Orange visible from all sides at a minimum distance of 200 feet.

Hunter Orange

Be sure you positively identify your target, and beyond, before you shoot!
