See The Budweiser Clydesdales In Asbury Park In 2016

Asbury Park, NJ -- Their Super Bowl commercials are some of the most popular and famous year after year. Their Christmas commercials are almost guaranteed to make you cry.

They are more famous than most of the Triple Crown-winning horses. (Do you remember the name of the last Triple Crown winner?)

They are the Budweiser Clydesdales, and they are paying a visit to the Jersey Shore this week, making four stops on their #FOLLOWTHEHITCH tour, beginning Thursday.

At each stop, you can have your photo taken with the horses, who will be there for two to three hours.

On Thursday, the Clydesdales will be in Asbury Park. The stop is scheduled to begin at 3 p.m. on Ocean Avenue at the Paramount Theatre and go down Ocean Avenue to Cookman Avenue, winding up on Main Street.

On Friday, the Clydesdales will be in Belmar, parading down Ocean Avenue beginning at 3 p.m.

On Saturday, the Clydesdales will be hanging out with their horse pals at Monmouth Park in Oceanport. That visit begins at 2 p.m., according to the schedule on the Budweiser website.

Their final Jersey Shore stop is Sunday in Seaside Heights. The Seaside Heights Business Improvement District says the Clydesdale team will arrive about 1 p.m. on Bay Boulevard between Grant Avenue and Sherman Avenue. At 3 p.m. the team will parade along Ocean Terrace Avenue, making stops in the vicinity of EJ’s and Aztec Bar, Jimbo’s, JR’s and Spicy Cantina, Beachcomber Bar, and Sawmill Cafe. The parade will end at about 5 p.m.

Budweiser first introduced the Clydesdales in 1933 after the repeal of Prohibition, and their fame and popularity has grown over the more than 80 years since.

According to the Belmar Days website, the Clydesdales last appeared at the Jersey Shore 15 years ago. The website also notes there are several "hitches" or teams of horses that travel around the country.

Eight horses are driven at any one time, with 10 horses on each team to provide alternates for the hitch when needed, the Belmar site reported.

In St. Louis, at the company headquarters at the Anheuser-Busch brewery complex, the Clydesdales are housed in a historic brick and stained-glass stable built in 1885.

(The last Triple Crown winner? That was American Pharoah, who won it in 2015, the first Triple Crown winner since Affirmed in 1978.)
