Baron of Buchlyvie (11263), the most advertised Clydesdale horse in history, a leading sire, and sold for $47,500. From photograph by A. Brown & Company, Lanark, Scotland Clydesdale characteristics. This breed of draft horses possesses certain features of a distinctive kind on which loyal Scotchmen lay great emphasis. The feet and bone and action are cardinal points with Clydesdale breeders. The feet must be large, round, and open, with an elastic frog and well-spread, clearly expressed heel; the coronet wide ; the pasterns fairly long and rather slop- ing ; the cannons short, flat, hard, and cordy; and the forearms, arms, thighs, and quarters notably muscled and strong. The ten- dency with the Clydesdale is to show some lightness of forearm and thigh. From the back side of the leg at the cannons should grow an abundance of long, fine hair, a striking feature in the best specimens of Clydesdales and indicative of quality.
