The director of communications and marketing for the city of Marion told us it’s a special time to see horses in town.
“It’s so exciting,” Rachel Stroud said. “It’s not every day you have a celebrity in town and it’s definitely not every day we’re lucky enough to have these 10 beautiful creatures with us. They’re huge, they’re huge and so sweet. This is truly something special for our entire region.”

The Clydesdales’ appearance in Marion is one of hundreds made each year due to travel hiccups.
