Old photograph of a ploughing match North of Perth, Perthshire, Scotland. Before Clydesdale horses were available, garrons or oxen pulled the plough. The Clydesdale is a breed of draught horse derived from the farm horses of Clydesdale, Scotland, and named after that region. Although originally one of the smaller breeds of draught horses, it is now a tall breed. Often bay in color, they show significant white markings due to the presence of sabino genetics. The breed was originally used for agriculture and haulage, and is still used for draught purposes today.
