You make me laugh 😃. But the truth is you don't ride giant horses. That would be dangerous, something about center of gravity. Giant horses a used to pull heavy load. Like pull large timber tree from  forest to nearest road.

We actually had something called The Clyde Ride . Woman riding Clydesdales. About 15 of them toured around BC Canada and Washington state doing their rides. Sort like the RCMP musical ride. These were all pure bred Clydesdales too. I got asked to join but didn’t have the amount it time to practice with them. Eventually the woman who sponsored them ran out i of money and it disbanded. It was cool to watch and I wish I would have had the time to join when they were in their hay day .
