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.

Neighborhood Info
The town of Hudson NH was originally part of Dunstable, Massachusetts. Sixty years later, in 1733, Hudson was separated from the rest of the tract and renamed Nottingham.
Nottingham's name changed again in 1741, when the disputed border lands, of which Hudson was a part, were granted to New Hampshire. Two more name changes were to follow. In 1746, Nottingham changed its name to Nottingham West. Then in 1830, amid concerns of the name's similarity to the original Nottingham, Nottingham West became Hudson, New Hampshire.
Originally a small farming community; Hudson today features miles of residential neighborhoods alongside commercial and industrial development, with some small retail plazas as well as high-tech companies.
The Merrimack River has always been an important thoroughfare to the town. The Taylor's Falls Bridge, which connects Hudson with Nashua, opened as a toll bridge in 1826. A second bridge, made of iron, replaced the old covered bridge in 1881, but it had not been built to support the additional weight of trolleys.
Electric trolleys, which were introduced in 1909, ran from Nashua to the seacoast and needed an efficient point for crossing over the Merrimack River. In 1910, a third structure, made of concrete, was built. ironically, it outlasted the trolleys that it was designed to accommodate. Finally, in 1974, a fourth bridge was placed at Taylor's Falls, and today oldtimers consider that bridge a reminder of the town's heritage.
Farming and logging were the main pursuits before the turn of the century.
Many of Hudson's historic buildings are the legacy of Dr. Alfred Hills. A New York City surgeon who summered in Hudson, Dr. Hills built the Hills Memorial Library and the Alvirne Chapel in 1909 in memory of his wife. He also left his home, Alvirne, to the Hudson Historical Society and bequeathed funds and 180 acres of land to build a high school. Today, Alvirne High School serves both Hudson and neighboring Litchfield and is well known across the region for its vocational center and accompanying agricultural and horticultural programs.
Now home to 20,000 residents, Hudson's retail development has also grown over the past several years, and the town boasts a number of businesses, including Sanders, a Lockheed Martin Company, Teledyne, Sam's Club, Wal-Mart, and Telegraph Publishing.
There is a town beach on Robinson Pond, as well as a number of parks and playgrounds, including Ottarnic Pond, Merrifield Park, Merrill Park, and the Musquash Conservation Area, which offers walking trails. Hudson also features tennis courts and two golf courses, along with a miniature golf course and a driving range.
How to choose the best real estate agent to sell your New Hampshire home
Interviewing a listing agent (seller's agent) over the Internet offers several advantages for you as a seller. You can do a little pre-qualifying before you meet the agent in person and you can see how your agent will use the Internet to communicate with you and to market your home. With more buyers turning to the Internet to view homes, shop for loans, and learn about the home buying process, the agent whom you choose to market your home can't afford not to be in command of this powerful tool called the Internet.
Although many agents will tell you that they can market your home effectively,
you need an agent who can meet several criteria including:
Being familiar with or specializing in your neighborhood
Having an office nearby
Being current and a regular user of the Internet, e-mail, and Internet marketing techniques
Having a list of clients who can give you their recommendations
Here are the 10 key questions all but the very best real estate agents hope you don't ask:
(1) How long have you been selling homes in my vicinity?
(2) What are the names, addresses and phone numbers of your five most recent home sellers?
(3) What is your written marketing plan for my home?
(4) Do you sell real estate full-time (dismiss part-time agents unless you want part-time service)?
(5) How many listings do you currently have (beware of agents with too many listings who won't have personal time for your home sale)?
(6) Do you have any office assistants (if so, will I be dealing with you or an assistant)?
(7) What day of the week do you take off and which agent covers for you when you are gone?
(8) Do you plan any vacation during my listing period?
(9) What is your sales-commission fee schedule?
(10) How many homes did you actually sell last year, and how many are in the pipeline to close in the next 4 months?
