Clydesdale, breed of working horse, and the national horse of Scotland. A comparatively new breed, the Clydesdale was developed in the Clyde Valley of Scotland during the 18th century. The Sixth Duke of Hamilton brought Flemish draft mares to Scotland to increase the size of local draft horses. A Scottish farmer later crossed this new line of horses with a black Flemish stallion, which had a wide white stripe running down his face. That coloring and the flowing, high-stepping action of this stallion became hallmarks of the Clydesdale breed.

They are from Scotland. The Clydesdale is a breed of heavy draft horse developed in the early nineteenth century by farmers in the Lanarkshire (previously Clydesdale) district of Scotland. It was bred to meet not only the agricultural needs of the local farmers, but also the demands of commerce for the coalfields of Lanarkshire and for all the types of heavy haulage on the streets of Glasgow. Due to its fine reputation, use of the breed soon spread throughout the whole of Scotland and northern England.
