Join us for a captivating journey into the world of the Clydesdale—the iconic Scottish draught horse whose legacy shaped the Central Lowlands for centuries. This episode, filmed by the Equine Legacy team of photographer, videographer, and writer, takes us to the breed’s birthplace in South Lanarkshire along the River Clyde. 

Through powerful visuals and storytelling, Clydesdale explores how these gentle giants once powered Scotland’s agriculture, mining, and canal trades—then went into near retreat. With a spotlight on passionate breeders and the cultural significance of preserving this majestic breed, this short documentary invites you to rediscover their profound impact on landscape, community, and equestrian heritage.  

Engage with the documentary team in a live Q&A session—ask about their travels, production challenges, and the importance of preserving rare horse breeds.

Celebrate the living legacy of the Clydesdale, showcased at The Helix—a site that itself honours working horses through its iconic Kelpies sculptures.
