The whole team piles up and finds itself in a risky situation.

In a situations like this you can see the real character of this horses and the skills of their handlers. Those Clydesdales patiently waited for the handlers to help them and the whole event didn’t turn into a disaster. There was no room for panic, the handlers unhitched the horses one by one and they all got free on time without any injury. Trust is all that matters in a process like this and those horses have faith in their handlers.

Clydesdales don’t get scared easily, they are very intelligent and easy to be trained. Each Clydesdale has it’s own temperament, structured by its experience, so basically all of them are individuals.
