JFP Equine Clydesdales

JFP Equine Clydesdales JFP Equine specializes in bringing the majestic Clydesdale breed to life for a variety of audiences. JFP Equine, Inc.

is owned and operated by Jim Poole, a career draft horse expert and former 25-year manager of the world-famous Budweiser Clydesdales. Draft horses have been a part of Poole's blood from the moment he was born in Manitoba, Canada. After decades of showing championship Clydesdales, Belgians & Percherons around the continent, Poole was recruited to St. Louis, MO to help run one of the most well-known

corporate icons on the planet, the Budweiser Clydesdales. For 25 years, he spearheaded Budweiser Clydesdale growth to over 300 head and six, eight-horse hitches that traveled the continent and took part in just about every local, national and global media outlet imaginable. Poole has owned and operated JFP Equine since 2011, supplying and consulting with clients throughout North America that want to enter or get more involved in the Clydesdale industry. Tucked along the outskirts of Waterloo, IL just outside St. Louis, MO, JFP Equine's headquarters is a working Clydesdale farm typically home to anywhere from 10-12 head.

We don’t often get to take Clydesdales down to the Enterprise Center … but when we do, they like to get their picture taken with Brett Hull.

This was “TORCH” (one of our all-time favorites) from a few years back when he was a VIP guest at the WALK TO END ALZHEIMER'S.

Looks like someone is keeping up on current events!

I wonder how many of the NFL teams playing this weekend would like to have this guy on their offensive line (the guy on the left, not the right).

Have a great weekend everyone … enjoy the playoffs!

Tough life!

They're all so cool, we gave them their own trading cards!

Four of the most important 'characters' inside the JFP Equine barn now can boast their own baseball style card, complete with FUN FACTS about each on the back.

Cool items we give when we can to our CHORE TIME Clydesdale Experience and Clydesdale 'Backstage' Meet N' Greet visitors. Can't wait until they skyrocket in value! 😀😛😜

Raw modeling talent on display here + the wonderful talents of Jessica Davis Photography.

One of our all-time favorite horses here - Clydesdale gelding, RIPP - who now resides at an awesome farm with awesome owners just outside of Nashville ... the ultimate combo of beauty, heart and personality.

Sometimes you just find 'that spot' on a Clydesdale that makes him melt right in to ya!

We couldn't resist ... in between visitors, the JFP/BJP family had to jump in and grab a quick holiday photo with 'FRED CLAUS.'

Christmas n' Clydesdales just seem to go hand in hand. We're only a few days out now from the big day ... how would you like to see a Clydesdale under your tree this year? 🐴

Hmmmm ... maybe orrrrrrr maybe not. Either way, we hope you enjoy a few seasonal photos from our friend Jessica Davis Photography located in Nashville, TN.

Just a couple of guys from JFP Equine with two of our favorite Clydesdales, ACE & DEX. These two big boys have taken some epic Christmas photos the past couple of years ... we won't confirm or deny if we like this one the best!

Come get your own EPIC photo this weekend at one of our Clydesdale Christmas Meet N' Greet sessions. A few spots still remain 12/21, 12/22 and 12/23.

Proud flag, proud Clydesdale and a little touch of the Christmas season. Quite the combo!

BTW, he looks tiny in this picture, but he's a BIG JFP Equine gelding inside a HUGE barn and under a MASSIVE flag ... a photo shoot we did a little while back just outside of Nashville, TN.

Do Clydesdales and barn cats get along?

Let's just say they co-exist very well. Both call the barn home, both kinda know their boundaries, and both have learned to respect the other.

When it comes to being the BOSS though, the white cat (Cookie) has it covered!

A little bite of cherry pie for ACE ... his annual holiday treat! (Check out that scooby doo style tongue 👅!)

ACE is scheduled to be at Rural King in Waterloo tomorrow morning, 12/14. Check out their page for details and updates Rural King Supply. Stop by and say hi if you can!

If ACE ever wanted a gig at the North Pole, looks like he would fit in quite well!

Thank you to R&R Ranch Minis for having us out as a special guest. Wonderful event and wonderful place to visit!

Clydesdale 👅 and lip smacking … this big guy (Captain) was amazing to have around. All the personality in the world! He has since moved on but we guess you can see why we enjoyed him while at JFP Equine! #Clydesdale #FunnyMoments #HorseLife #BarnLife #Tongue

Fresh off a CHORE TIME Clydesdale Experience, this is what one participant had to say … (And if we ever can’t find ACE, we think we know where to look 😀!) http://www.jfpequine.com/choretime

If you don’t believe in ghosts, how do you explain this? Happy Halloween everyone!

Clydesdale-sized view from the back patio on a beautiful Sunday/Funday with CA$H and FRED.

ACE makes his entrance at Pyromania this past weekend, all decked out in yellow!

JFP Equine's BLAZE, a 2-yr-old stallion, high-steppin' his way into the big time. Fresh off two months of 'driver training' with world-renowned trainer Jonas Helmuth, we're more excited than ever to see what this already 18-hand, high-level prospect is going to accomplish in the months and years ahead. BLAZE is back home at JFP Equine and ready to meet our CHORE TIME Clydesdale Experience and Clydesdale 'Meet & Greet' guests over the next few weeks. Hope to see you!

Morning jog, Clydesdale style!

No barn curtain gonna throw this guy (Floyd) off his game!
