In 2016, Dreamwinds Equine Assisted Learning Centre, based in Bradford, Ontario, produced a heartwarming parody titled “2016 Clydesdale Superbowl Commercial – GO JIMMY!” This charming video features their resident Clydesdale, Jimmy, and a horse named Zoey, weaving a narrative of budding affection between the two equines. The storyline is further enriched by Benson, a donkey who plays the role of a matchmaker, ensuring that love finds its way. The video is set to the classic tune “All You Need Is Love,” emphasizing its theme of affection and connection.
Dreamwinds created this video as a tribute to the iconic Budweiser Clydesdale commercials, which have been a staple of Super Bowl advertising for decades. While Jimmy has not appeared in an official Budweiser commercial, this parody showcases his charm and the creative efforts of the Dreamwinds team. The video was well-received, offering viewers a delightful alternative, especially for those who felt that the official 2016 Budweiser commercial lacked sufficient Clydesdale presence.
Dreamwinds Equine Assisted Learning Centre specializes in leadership training and team-building programs through interactions with horses. Their mission is to foster personal and professional growth by leveraging the intuitive nature of horses to teach communication, leadership, and teamwork skills. Jimmy, as the “spokeshorse” for their “Stomp Out Cancer” fundraising campaign, plays a significant role in their initiatives, both as an ambassador and a participant in their programs.
The “GO JIMMY!” video not only highlights the bond between the animals but also serves as a testament to the creativity and dedication of the Dreamwinds team. By producing this parody, they paid homage to the beloved Budweiser Clydesdale commercials while showcasing their own horses’ talents and the organization’s commitment to making a positive impact in their community.
