The Clydesdale is a very active horse. He is not bred for action, like the Hackney, but he must have action. A Clydesdale judge uses the word "action" with a difference. A Hackney judge using the word means high-stepping movement; a Clydesdale judge means high lifting of the feet, not scuffling along, but the foot at every step must be lifted clean off the ground, and the inside of every shoe be made plain to the man standing behind. Bred to be a calm pony, suitable for saddle and harness. As with many ponies and horses, temperament can be affected by handling. Poorly handled ponies will become surly and sour. Stallions do have the potential to become more 'bullish' and overbearing during the breeding season, usually around Spring and Summer.
