Budweiser Clydesdale – Warm Springs Ranch Missouri – Public Tours Available!
Budweiser and summer just kind of go together. That’s why we tied it into a family outing on a nice day, and traveled to Boonville, MO to visit a unique Budweiser facility. Kids and all! This was a different kind of party though. No liquor involved (now you didn’t doubt me, did you?). We visited the place where the Budweiser Clydesdale are created. Literally! Warm Springs Ranch “Where Dreams Are Born”.
If you’ve ever seen a Clydesdale, you know they are beautiful and majestic breed of horses. The Budweiser Clydesdale is the crème de la crop. At the facility, located on 300 acres of beautiful fields lies over 100 Clydesdales ranging from foal to stallion. These horses are treated like royalty, from the breeding process, throughout life! All of the equipment used for breeding is state of the art. They even have an awesome monitor that is used to alert Mommies doctor when she’s in labor! They are on call 24 hours to come and assist during that time!
The facilities are just as beautiful as the horses, and it gives you an overwhelming sense of awe to peek into the lives of these beautiful creatures! Every step of the Clydesdale’s care is carefully calculated and executed, and you can see the genuine love between the animals and their caregivers.
Each animal has a story, and a unique personality. I met one mommy who was 11 months pregnant with a 150 pound baby!! After birthing 2 children of my own (each under 150 pounds, luckily) I felt like I had a special connection with this momma and a WHOLE lot of admiration!
The tour last about 1.5 hours and is very intriguing. There’s a lot of info given the tour, but don’t worry, you’ll have a chance to unwind at the end with a complimentary Budweiser (except on Sundays, when it’s illegal to sample alcohol). I highly recommend this tour for you and your family. Tickets are $10, but reservation spots fill up quick so be sure to reserve yours today!
Disclosure : We received a complimentary tour in exchange for this review. As always, all thoughts are my own.
Emily, a horse can carry a baby for up to 11 months!
That would be a fun tour. I wonder if they could get me away from those beautiful horses to check it out though
These have always been my favorite horse! What a great looking tour.
This is something I would LOVE to do!! Thank you for all those pictures!! How long do horses carry babies?
That is so cool that you had a tour and got to meet the famous horses! We did a mini tour at Sea World San Diego year ago! beautiful horses for sure.
What a beautiful place and such a fun experience!
Those clydesdales are majestic! I was wondering how you were going to make a family trip out of a Budweiser tour. Way to pull it off.
I love the Budweiser Clydesdale commercials at the Super Bowl ever year! What a neat place to tour!
This is so cool! I loved seeing the Clydesdales at Sea World last time I went!
I had no idea there was a ranch with real horses, let alone that you could go visit there. What a high tech ranch, love the monitor that tells the vet it’s time.
Beautiful pics. The horses are amazing.
What beautiful horses! Looks like your family had a nice time!
Clydesdales are my favorite- their strength and beauty!!! How neat to have been so close!!!
Too cool. I LOVE Clydesdales. They’re so gorgeous.
My daughter went to college in Missouri, and got to visit here! She said it was really cool.
Okay, those horses are gorgeous! Looks like your family had a lot of fun.
It’s on my bucket list, I’ve always wanted to go there!! Those horses are beyond beautiful, I love your photos!
What a beautiful tour. Clydesdale’s have always been part of Americana. I love each one has its own story and their beauty is incomparable. I’d love to visit.
They are just gorgeous! I would love to see the horses some day!
How seriously cool is that? My boys would be in heaven!!
