Do you meanthe feathers? Ifso, just don't trim them and justkeep on letting them grow until desired length then trim them and carry on like that. Hope this helps ;)

NO! No foal should ever be used for adult horse type work. Let the foal grow up first, it can start training at 2 years old if you're in a hurry. But typically draft breeds require a longer period of time to mature fully.

Yes, because the Friesian is lighter and the Clydesdale is heavier.

Common health problems for Clydesdale horses are a condition called the itch, and sunburn. The itch affects the lower part of the legs where the fur feathers. The lack of pigmentation in their faces is a cause or sunburn.

You can cross breed just about any breed of horses. I would always recommend checking with a vet just to make sure. It also depends on which breed is going to be the stallion. For instance, although Gypsy Vanners and Clydesdales are both considered draft horses, Clydesdales can be HUGE (17 hands and above) whereas most Gypsies are 14 and 15 hands. If the stallion is the Clydesdale, that could create a pretty big foal for a Gypsy mare to carry. Always double check with a vet first.

The Budweiser Clydesdale's themselves have no real predators other than unruly fans, and possibly loose dogs.

They are called feathers. Most all draft breeds have this extra length of hair on their legs.

Breed of heavy draft horse that originated in Lanarkshire, Scotland, near the River Clyde. Though introduced to North America c. 1842, the Clydesdale never became a popular draft horse there. They average 17 - 18 hands (68 - 72 in., or 173 - 183 cm) in height and 2,000 lbs (900 kg) in weight. Their coloration is usually bay, dark brown, or black, with prominent white markings. They are noted for their high leg action while walking or trotting. The breed is characterized by feather (long hair) on the legs, an attractive head, and well-formed legs and feet. http://www.answers.com/topic/clydesdale?method=26&initiator=WANS
