~ Stunning ~ We need a OMG button here ....LOL
Beautiful!! I must say, it's unique one. Clydesdales are just something you don't see often in the collectibles world.
This is a true gem and it reminds me of car mascots using this horse as a special beauty !~
So pretty....reminds me of the Trojan horse....beautiful!!!
Super thanks to everybody for the love for my special horse

With heartfelt thanks to you all for your fabulous praise
Rose, I have wanted this glass Clydesdale for years and when I finally got it I was totally gobsmacked! It is very heavy and so beautifully formed. Heisey always designed such heavenly animals
Scott you are absolutely right, except for Budweiser ads this horse is rarely seen here, but they are a beautiful breed of horse. Although he mostly did promos Alpo dog food, I seem to remember Ed McMahon talking about the Clydesdales before a Budweiser ad for the Carson show, back in the day where they could show ads for alcohol beverages on TV
Yes Phil I'm sure this horse would have made terrific car mascot, it is a very impressive & noble animal
Leesa I agree wholeheartedly that it looks like the Trojan horse, particularly the style of the mane is very Greco-Roman. Real horse manes are so wild that most glassmakers seem to minimize them, for example glass horse bookend manes often have a braided look
