While the U.S. Forest Service wildfire-working pack mules were in Pasadena for the Rose Parade on New Years Day they made some new friends at the Los Angeles Equestrian Center — the Budweiser Clydesdales.
A year ago we had an article about how the USFS overwinters 214 horses and mules at a facility 20 miles northwest of Missoula, MT.
If you like the Clydesdales, HERE and HERE are two commercials featuring them (and a puppy) that appeared in the 2015 Super Bowl.

Everybody loves dogs, even Budweiser has one on their rig.
