"Ohio is a very important stop on the Cashdales tour across the nation," said Steve Scoggins, Check Into Cash President. "We hope that everyone who has a chance can take a few minutes to see these beautiful and exquisite animals. This is something that happens once in a lifetime."
The horses are two of the eight members of the 2010 World Championship Team. The team has appeared in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York and escorted His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge Prince William and his wife Catherine to an event in 2011. The Cashdales will visit more than 1,100 Check Into Cash locations across the United States.
"Our friends in Ohio should know that these world-class horses were chosen to be the two that were nearest to the royal couple because of their good nature," said Allan Jones, CEO of Check Into Cash. "We would like everyone to see them. They are a part of history and this is a once-in-a-lifetime event."
The horses are rare among the Clydesdale breed, as they are black with white stockings. Less than nine percent of the breed carry the mixed colors. The horses are an equally matched team at 18.2 hands tall, which is significant because to qualify for competition, the pair must be the same height
Each horse has a weight of over 2,000 pounds. Their shoes are the size of dinner plates and weigh more than three pounds each. "Most Clydesdales carry the common traits of strength and patience," Jones added, "so they represent Check Into Cash and the company heritage very well."
Clydesdales are considered a tall breed, although originally the animals were one of the smaller breeds of draught or "draw" horses. These are horses that are primarily used for heavy hauling or pulling.
