00:00 I'm with Janine Dunlop from Eglinton riding her Clydesdale horse.
00:06 What's the name of the horse Janine?
00:07 It's Donnyborough McClara.
00:08 And it is a mighty big horse.
00:10 Yes, she's 17 and 1 hands high.
00:12 17 and 1 hands high.
00:14 And is she hard to handle?
00:15 She's not. She's only a baby. She's learning the ropes but she's doing really well.
00:19 She's just a baby?
00:20 Yes.
00:21 Is she going to get much bigger?
00:22 She'll start to fall out I would say.
00:24 Right, okay.
00:25 She's already mighty big.
00:27 And tell me, what's so special about this breed for you Janine compared to other breeds?
00:31 We're coming from farming backgrounds. It's lovely to have Clydesdale still on the farm at home.
00:35 Yes.
00:36 And traditionally they were bred for farming but over the years now it's amazing what they can do and they have such a mighty step.
00:42 So they still have practical applications?
00:44 They do. You can still use them within the farm, yes.
00:46 And what practical ways would you have used it before?
00:49 Me personally, I don't do any farming with them but I just like the idea of having them on the farm.
00:55 Yes.
00:56 For our ancestors they would have had them on the farm.
00:58 They're a beautiful horse, aren't they?
01:00 Yes.
01:01 Thank you very much.
01:02 Thank you.
