The Budweiser Clydesdales made a notable appearance at the 136th Rose Parade on January 1, 2025, in Pasadena, California. These majestic horses, known for their towering stature, bay color, and white feathered hooves, have been a cherished part of the Rose Parade tradition since their first appearance in 1953.
To qualify for the iconic eight-horse hitch, each Clydesdale must meet strict requirements: standing 18 hands tall, weighing around 2,000 pounds, and featuring bay coloring, four white stockings, a blaze on the face, and a black mane and tail.
The 2025 Rose Parade featured 16 equestrian units, including the Budweiser Clydesdales from St. Louis, Missouri.
