This past October in my small town of Patchogue the Budweiser Clydesdales made their way down our Main St and hand-delivered Budweiser to many bars.  I had a chance to photograph this historic event.  The last time the mighty Clydesdales were on Long Island was in 1978. The year I was born.  I had some inside knowledge of where they were boarding the horses for the stay on  Long Island.  

Many years ago I did a bit of equine photography but I always wanted to do a studio style session with a horse.  I saw an opportunity to possibly do this with the famous Clydesdales. I head down to Clare Rose our local beer distributor which was where the horses were spending a few days.   I figure why not ask?  The worst that could happen is they say no.   Long story short I did a family photo for the owner with one of the Clydesdales in return to photograph them.  I also had to get permission from Anheuser Bush.  The Clydesdale handler Lane was very accommodating with me.   Below are some of my final images as well some videos
