JFP Equine gives people extraordinary access to world-class Clydesdales through unforgettable experiences, appearances and sales. JFP Equine, Inc.

Home of The Ultimate Clydesdale Experience. 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.

OFFICIALLY INTRODUCING… LOUIE!🐴

The newest addition to the JFP Equine herd.

And this boy is SOMETHING ELSE!

Just 3 years old. Already standing 18 hands, 3 inches tall. And STILL growing.

All the color, flair, presence and personality you’d expect from a world-class Clydesdale.

Our legendary CORE FOUR (ACE, FRED, TORCH & FLAME) might want to keep an eye on this young fella.

There’s a new kid in the barn. And he’s making quite an impression!

WELCOME TO JFP EQUINE, LOUIE!

The scariest thing at JFP Equine?

Some might say it’s our monthly feed bill! 😱🎃🐴 😂

HAPPY HALLOWEEN everyone!

Did Fred just get a visit from a professional stylist? 👀

We can neither confirm nor deny.

Sprinting is not required during business hours…
But we sure don’t mind it either.

This happened spontaneously at the end of an Ultimate Clydesdale Experience last weekend. LOUIE was feelin’ good…and decided to take a quick lap, and show off!

What a treat.

LOUIE is the newest addition to the JFP Equine herd. He’s just 3 years old, already MASSIVE, and still has some growing to do.

Something tells us this boy is going to be a whole lot of horse!

Who are we kidding? He already is!

He approved, but asked if he'd be required to wear matching family pajamas.

It's currently under review.

Come join us for a little Clydesdale Christmas magic!

His responsibilities will include:

-Looking magnificent with little to no effort
-Greeting important guests (and by important we mean all)
-Representing the herd in all contract negotiations
