Aren't the Budweiser team made up of Clydesdale horses?

This is not a very good question or answer. Clydesdales and Shires are virtually identical; Shires can also be bay in colour. Clydesdales tend to have a more 'roan' coat, though (with white hairs). Both have 'feather' around the feet. You'd have to look at the horse's passport to know if true Shire or Clydesdales.

Majestic creatures. I have seen them up close. They are substantially bigger than most horses
Colette
Gorgeous horses! I absolutely adore horses. I do not ride them, but I love them. They are such noble creatures.
Gio
Clydesdale and Shire look virtually identical unless you can gauge their height, when the Shire is noticeably bigger. This is not a fair set of choices with this photo.
Player #41081547
flowercat0523, Yes they are. These horses looks Majestic. Hope the Budweiser will take a good care of them once when they get older as well.
Cher67
flowercat0523, absolutely! Years ago, the horses were kept at Busch Gardens in Tampa. Visitors used to be allowed to meet the horses. Not sure where they are kept now.

It's virtually impossible to tell a Clydesdale from a Shire horse from a photo alone.

If you're ever in St Louis, Missouri. Take a trip to Grant's farm and get up close and personal with these beautiful and majestic creatures. it's well worth the visit.

Player Gigi #28446253
Player #26386242, that is a sad sad story 😢 😞
Player Gigi #28446253
Player #25874027, bred for strength, Thoroughbreds bred for speed. Both for being able to keep on going whether under a knight in full armor or a Bedouin in the desert. All horses are wonderful!
Fun guy
'feathers above their hooves': descendants of Pegasus ?

Player #26386242, no doubt he is riding in heaven
Player #32047735
that's not a clydesdale my uncle breed them, and that is a shire not a clydesdale
Player #25874027
Player #10777524,
These are also the types of horse used by the mediaeval knights , not the horses used in films. Firstly a knight in full armour is heavy .
Secondly the modern racehorse or thoroughbred is descended from Arab horses of the 17th century
Player #26386242
Cher67, they are at the Fort Collins,Co Bud plant. My uncle raised Clydesdales and sold many to Budweiser. They are extremely regal animals. Uncle Nook said when the last Clyde left the farm he would too. Nobody knew he meant he’d kill himself but that’s just what he did. Shot himself in the head... loved those horses so much but became too infirm to continue raising them....
Player #25603427
flowercat0523, why yes they are miss I love those commercials so traditional 🌞
mick dundee
flowercat0523, Carlton draught team (the Australian equivalent) certainly is so i daresay you're correct
