Wondering about Kenny Bernstein (1 Viewer)

[BaldyLochs]

Today I ran across the Budweiser Clydesdale's hauler; quite an impressive rig I might add; rivals any pro race car hauler out there, with not one speck of dust on it. I remember when Kenny retired they gave him a horse. What ever became of that horse? Didn't they donate it to some farm or organization - something like that?

(no glue or dog food jokes please)

What, we can't horse around? </groan>

Probably told the horse he had Purina on speed dial.

Back in the old days when I would come down to breakfast in the morning looking a little hungover, my dad would ask. Out making payments on them Clydesdales again last night?

Just outside of St. Louis is the farm for supporting the horses. Neat place to tour!

I thought the place they kept the Clydesdales was Busch Gardens. But it's been years since I've been to St. Louis so things have probably changed.

 

[ironpony]

there are actually 2 places, one where the horses are kept, one for the breeding program

 

[Professional Fan]

I visited where they keep the Clydesdales once in St Louis and decided that in my next life I want to come back as a Clydesdale!

Same here. And absolutely nothing to do with Kenny Bernstein.

 

[DrRocket]

Well, actually, the OP DID have to do with Kenny. It was the rest of the posts that went off the rails.

I and 30,000 of my closest friends were at Pomona when Budweiser gave KB the horse. Bud pretty much never does that and so it was a remarkable gesture. Lots of gasps in the crowd when they announced it.

It was being shown on the big screen and I vivdly remember KB being visibly overwhelmed with the gift.

The Brewery tour is well worth it. The carriages etc are all mint. The copper cladding on those buildings must be worth a fortune.

Yes, he was trying to figure out where he was going to put a 2000l b 8 ft tall horse that eats 50 lbs a day and poops the same.

That's true...but they would fit in his basement.

Maybe it's just me, but I always thought giving the gift of a Clydesdale, or even a Shetland Pony, was a bit strange. I mean, on one hand cool, but in reality, you just got handed a huge responsibility and expense. Am I looking at it wrong?
