How much does a Clydesdale sell for?
$40,000 was the highest reported sale for a 3 year old Mare during the 2006 National Clydesdale Sale sponsored by the Clydesdale Breeders of the USA. The top selling Gelding was $30,000 and the top selling Stallion was $18,000. Obviously the average is much lower. Prices for will vary depending on many factors such as conformation(quality), bloodlines, size, age, color, markings, training, animation in the way of travel, and of course the current market. How much does a Clydesdale weigh?A mature “Clyde” will weigh between 1600 and 2400 pounds. Can you ride a Clydesdale?Yes, you can ride them and calm dispositon they are good on the trail too. The smaller Clydesdales are much more comfortable to ride in my opinion because of low branches and the girth which one must straddle. Remember the stirrup is waist hight even for a tall person on an 18 hand horse!
