Famous Horses Grace Georgia Parades

The world famous Budweiser Clydesdales are spending several days in Georgia to participate in two parades on Georgia's coast - the Tybee Island Irish Heritage Parade on Saturday and the Savannah St. Patrick's Day Parade on Tuesday. The horses are taking up temporary residence at J.F Gregory Park in Richmond Hill, where the public can see the horses daily from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Savannah is one of 300 cities the five traveling hitches visit annually. A single Clydesdale hitch horse will consume as much as 25 quarts of feed, 60 pounds of hay and 30 gallons of water a day.
