00:00This is Janine Dunlop from Eglinton on riding her Clydesdale horse, what's the name of the
00:06horse Janine?
00:07It's Donnyborough McClure.
00:08And it is a mighty big horse?
00:10Yeah, she's 17 and 1 hands high.
00:14And is she hard to handle?
00:15She's not, she's only a baby, she's learning the rope, but she's doing really well.
00:19She's just a baby?
00:20Yeah.
00:21Is she going to get much bigger?
00:22She'll start to fall out I would say.
00:24Right, okay.
00:25She's already mighty big, and tell me what's so special about this breed for you Janine
00:29compared to other breeds?
00:30She's just, we're coming from a farming background, so it's lovely to have Clydesdale still on
00:31the farm at home.
00:32Yes.
00:33And traditionally they were bred for farming, but it's over the years now, it's amazing
00:34what they can do, and they have such a mighty step.
00:41So do they still have practical applications?
00:43They do, you can still use them within the farm, yes.
00:47And what practical ways would you have used it before?
00:49Me personally, I don't do any farming with them, but I just like the idea of having them
00:54on the farm.
00:55Yes.
00:56But my ancestors, they would have had them on the farm previously.
00:58They're a beautiful horse aren't they?
00:59Yes.
01:00Thank you very much.
01:01Thank you.
