Budweiser Clydesdale Horses in New Hampshire Postcard

Grooms leads two Clydesdale horses to the barn on the property of the Anheuser-Busch Brewery in Merrimack, New Hampshire, where the horses are stabled. The beautiful, strong and high stepping Clydesdales have served as a symbol of Budweiser's heritage since Prohibition was repealed in 1933, and they are one of advertising's most enduring mascots. The horses were introduced as mascots when the ban on drinking ended and August Busch Jr. presented the first hitch to his father, August Sr., in celebration. The elder Busch was tricked into thinking that his gift was a new car, but instead discovered the now famous red, white and gold beer wagon being pulled by the Clydesdales standing in front of the original brewery in St. Louis, Missouri.
