You're probably thinking of the feathering on their legs, which is the long, flowing hair that extends down their lower legs and fetlocks (the area above the hooves). This feathering is a distinctive feature of Clydesdales, giving them their elegant appearance.
Here's the thing:
* Feathering isn't fur: It's actually a type of hair that's longer and softer than the hair on the rest of their body.
* It's not for warmth: While the feathering might offer some insulation, it's primarily a breed characteristic, likely developed over time for its aesthetic appeal and possibly to protect their legs from minor injuries.
So, while Clydesdales might look like they have fuzzy feet, it's actually just the feathering giving them a luxurious, almost "shaggy" look. 😊
