About the Famous Budweiser Clydesdales

The Clydesdales’ appearance in Acadiana is one of hundreds made annually by the traveling hitches. Canadians of Scottish descent brought the first Clydesdales to America in the mid-1800s. Today, the giant draft horses are used primarily for breeding and show.

Anheuser-Busch’s Budweiser Clydesdales are an enduring symbol of Budweiser’s heritage, tradition, and commitment to quality. The hitch team’s upcoming visit to Lafayette and Youngsville, La., is one of hundreds of appearances it will make in 2025, never failing to draw a crowd wherever they go.

This year marks the 91st anniversary of the Budweiser Clydesdales, which made their first appearance on behalf of Anheuser-Busch on April 7, 1933, when they delivered a case of Budweiser to the White House in celebration of the repeal of the prohibition of beer.
