So sad to read that Digger was put to sleep in 2017 due to ongoing health problems. Such a beautiful, majestic animal, RIP big guy.

Digger is a beautiful Clydesdale who has a bright future. He did not suffer from neglect or cruelty by his previous owners. They were good people who were suffering from their own health problems so they entrusted him to WHW. At 19hh he is huge but he is not the biggest or tallest horse in the UK. At the moment that record goes to Prince, a Shire in Kent who is 19.2hh. Great to see that he is now a drum horse for HM Queen. I have two beautiful Clydesdales and adore this fabulous and rare breed of horse.

I just looked Digger up on World Horse Welfare's website.They had to put him down in December 2017,because his health was deteriorating.He'd developed absesses that didn't respond well to treatment,he was in pain and in low spirits,withdrawn.At least he did get in another eight years of happy living as an ambassador for WHW.People loved to come and visit him.

What a big old teddy bear he is!!! I hope he's doing ok and that he's in a good home. You can tell he's a big softie, and he'll be wonderful for anyone who gets him. I'm a big lover of horses, and I say God bless all these people who are doing their best to get these horses out of deplorable conditions. There ARE good people out there!

Every 2 years or so someone goes up to the woods behind my house (it's not my property) and they use these gorgeous Clydesdales to pull the logs and branches out from the woods. I love it because not only are horses beautiful, but they're eco-friendly, don't require gas, and are extremely strong. They can get into places where tractors can't and it's nice knowing that people still do this :)

A lot of companies these days use heavy horse breeds for logging - they're more environmentally friendly, and can access areas where tractors/lorries can't.

So ... what happened with the chronic lameness issues in his rear hind leg(s) and joints? ... did he get the exploratory orthopaedic surgery needed ... or did he have to get put down? An update for digger would be fantastic. Thank you. Oh dear ... I have just read a recent comment mentioning he was put down in 2017. I guess the surgery wasn't an option or unsuccessful ... sad news.
