The Budweiser Clydesdales, icons of strength and tradition, recently joined forces with Purina to deliver an unforgettable surprise to Far View Horse Rescue in Colorado. This heartwarming collaboration was not just about showcasing the grandeur of the Clydesdales but about bringing much-needed support and hope to a rescue organization dedicated to giving neglected and abused horses a second chance.
Far View Horse Rescue, a nonprofit organization, has worked tirelessly to rehabilitate and rehome horses in need. Operating with limited resources, the team relies on donations and the dedication of volunteers to care for the horses and maintain their facilities. When Purina learned of Far View’s mission, they knew they wanted to help in a meaningful way—and they knew the Budweiser Clydesdales could make the gesture truly special.
The day of the surprise began like any other for the staff and volunteers at Far View. Unbeknownst to them, a caravan of Budweiser trucks was en route, carrying the iconic Clydesdales and a special delivery. As the trucks pulled into the rescue’s grounds, excitement rippled through the team. The sight of the majestic Clydesdales, with their towering stature, feathered legs, and gleaming chestnut coats, left everyone in awe.
The Clydesdales weren’t just there to dazzle—they brought a generous donation from Purina. The company gifted Far View Horse Rescue with a year’s supply of premium horse feed, ensuring that the horses in their care would have the nutrition they needed to thrive. This donation was a game-changer for the rescue, alleviating a significant financial burden and allowing them to focus on their mission of rehabilitation and adoption.
The moment was emotional for everyone involved. Far View’s founder expressed deep gratitude, saying, “This is beyond anything we could have imagined. The Clydesdales are a symbol of hope and strength, and today they’ve brought that spirit to our rescue. With Purina’s support, we can continue to provide the best care for these horses and help them find loving homes.”
The Budweiser Clydesdales also spent time connecting with the community. Local residents and horse lovers were invited to meet the horses, take photos, and learn more about the importance of rescue work. The event became a celebration of equine welfare and community spirit, with the Clydesdales serving as ambassadors for the cause.
For Purina, partnering with Budweiser and Far View Horse Rescue was a natural fit. Both companies share a deep commitment to animal care and well-being, and this collaboration showcased their dedication to supporting those who work tirelessly to make a difference.
The day ended with smiles, tears, and a renewed sense of purpose. The Budweiser Clydesdales and Purina didn’t just deliver feed—they delivered hope. Their visit highlighted the incredible work being done at Far View Horse Rescue and inspired others to support equine rescue efforts.
In the end, this partnership proved that when iconic brands and dedicated organizations come together, they can create magic that touches lives—both human and equine alike.
