USA Clydesdale Preservation Foundation

USACPF USA Clydesdale Preservation Foundation 501(c)3 supports the "threatened" Clydesdale horses through education, preservation, research, and Clydesdale presentation. Through our efforts, we hope to inspire the world to preserve these historic animals for future generations. We are a dedicated foundation with 72 volunteers. All USACPF donations go to the preservation program. Our Foundation serves the community, youth and adults with physical and emotional disabilities.

OUR PASSION IS TO INSPIRE PEOPLE TO CARE ABOUT THE THREATENED CLYDESDALE BREED

The U.S.A Clydesdale Preservation Foundation is dedicated to the preservation of the Clydesdale breed. We created the foundation because of their "threatened" status and their very low world population of less than 5000 horses. To put it in perspective, our friends the well known Quarter horses, have a worldwide population of 2,825,595 horses. What does a population of approximately 5,000 mean? It means you could take away the opportunity to have a healthy, diverse breeding population and ultimately extinction. Our goal is to help increase the Clydesdale population so they will no longer carry the classifications of threatened and are able to continue a healthy breeding population. USACPF works diligently through many avenues to contribute to the conservation of the breed.

USACPF is a volunteer organization with no paid staff. We began our service in 2012 with 6 volunteers and as an unknown organization. Today we have 72 volunteers and a host of supporters. We have accomplished many of our goals to date including a population study on behalf of the Clydesdale breed in the United States. We continue to work on our goals of education, preservation, research, presentation and historical archiving on behalf of the Clydesdale breed.
