CLYDESDALES N' CHRISTMAS: THE PERFECT COMBO
If it's even possible, Clydesdales get even COOLER at Christmas time.
Sure, they're pretty darn cool all year long, but there's just something special about seeing one or more of these big guys around the holidays.
Fresh off multiple seasonal events last week with one of our big guys - ACE - we saw it firsthand.
Enthusiasm for Clydesdales just kinda goes along with the holidays ... families are together, looking for memorable experiences, epic photos, and unique touches to make Christmas as special as ever.
Smiles around ACE at each of our events last week seemed contagious. And it certainly didn't hurt that he was all decked out in seasonal attire that, well, let's just say made him look VERY festive.
It's very cool for us at JFP Equine to be a part of such moments. We love this time of year and incorporating one or more of our 'big guys' into the holidays as best as we can.
For us, that is typically in one of three ways:
ON-SITE HOLIDAY CLYDESDALE EVENTS AT JFP EQUINE
We open our barn doors to experiential Clydesdale visits all year long at JFP Equine. But our 'Backstage' Meet N' Greets between Thanksgiving & Christmas come with a bit of an enhancement ... a themed background for EPIC holiday photos and a visit from FRED CLAUS, our 2,200 lb Clydesdale who loves to dress for the season!
(For a schedule of upcoming sessions visit www.jfpequine.com/meetngreet.)
OFF-SITE HOLIDAY CLYDESDALE EVENTS
As mentioned, we took ACE around the St. Louis area last week to multiple holiday events ranging from corporate events to a surprise holiday visit to someone's home. (Imagine, opening your front door to see 2,300 lb ACE the Clydesdales standing there ... pretty special stuff.)

Although each event had a different feel, they're all unified by the joy ACE brought to guests. More events are planned for this week, with some availability left between now and the end of the year. (Send us a DM if you'd like to request ACE at an upcoming event.)
A CLYDESDALE AS A CHRISTMAS GIFT ... REALLY?
Yes, there have been a couple of instances in recent years where we've gotten the call ... "I'm looking for something special for my spouse for Christmas ... do you have any Clydesdales available?"
Imagine the big red bow we had to put on each of those!
Not exactly a gift for everyone but in these unique circumstances it was something special for us to be a part of.
Who knows, we may get the call again this year ... if it comes to fruition we'll let you know!
One way or another, we hope you consider making your 2024 Christmas season a Clydesdale-sized one.
And if we at JFP Equine can help you do it, we'd love to be a part!
Happy Holidays!
