All modern horses with the same chromosome count can interbreed and produce fertile offspring. Breeds, such as the Clydesdale are merely examples of how a

very diverse gene pool can be manipulated to produce a more genetically uniform

group of individuals through inbreeding, line breeding and consistent selection

for characteristics by the breeder/breed organization.

The other Equids: Donkeys, Asses, zebras, tarpans, tahkis have different chromosome counts and interbreeding of any of these species (modern horses included) rarely if ever produces fertile offspring...or any offspring in some cases.
