Budweiser Clydesdales Trot Into Metro Atlanta. Here’s Where You Can See Them – WSB-TV Channel 2

ATLANTA — The Budweiser Clydesdales are returning to metro Atlanta this week. If you want a chance to see them up close, they’re stopping at several locations around the area.

The visit is part of Budweiser’s partnership with Folds of Honors, a nonprofit organization that supports the families of fallen U.S. military personnel.

The iconic horses will begin their tour by helping with beer deliveries around Cartersville Town Square, near the beer company’s plant, starting at 12 p.m.

On Thursday, the Clydesdales will stop at the Norcross Summer Concert Series at Thrasher Park at 5 p.m. Their final stop will be Friday with a parade through Alpharetta off Wills Road.

Following the parade, Budweiser will make a donation to the Alpharetta American Legion’s Folds of Honor Scholarship Program

MORE THINGS TO DO:

There is a lot of work to be done moving the 10 horses and their carriage to events across the country.

“Expert groomers travel on the road with the team at least 10 months of the year. Another team oversees their feeding; each team horse will consume up to 20 to 25 gallons of whole grains, minerals and vitamins, 50 to 60 pounds of hay and up to 30 gallons of water in warm weather,” Anheuser-Busch said.

The horses and everything that goes with them are transported in three 50-foot semi-trailers.

“Cameras mounted in the trailers are linked to monitors in the cabs that allow drivers to keep a watchful eye on their precious cargo during transport. The trailers’ air-cushioned suspension and thick rubber flooring ease the rigors of the journey. The team stops each evening at local stables so the ‘gentle giants’ can rest,” the company said.
