  • If it is possible to have Clydesdales that both hitch and halter
  • Some of the Greenwood Farms bloodlines

  1. The All-Time Most Winning Clydesdale Mare should be Collessies Mabel Footprint, next would be Kirklandhill Queen o Carrick. Please do your research before presenting information as fact.

    1. Hi Kim,

      You can take that up with Greenwood Farms, this information was pulled from their website. Perhaps your criteria for winningest mare is different. I believe they may have been going off of National Championships, but we do not wish to speak for them. Anyhow, thanks for your input.
