Can a Clydesdale horse be a regular horse?

Can a Clydesdale horse be a regular horse? It is a horse, hon. Do you mean can it be trained to be ridden? Yes, it can. I have been training for many years and have also ridden on a statewide equestrian drill team in which one girl rode a Clydesdale.

Happy trails!
