Clydesdales have a long history with Anheuser-Busch arising from August Busch, Jr.'s lifelong love of horses. When making deliveries, horses, often Clydesdales, were used to pull the A-B wagons. In 1933, August Busch Jr. commemorated the repeal of Prohibition by presenting his father with a six-horse team of Clydesdale geldings pulling a Budweiser beer wagon. This evolved into the eight-horse team used to pull the A-B beer wagons that is now a highly recognizable symbol.
