Budweiser Clydesdales make beer deliveries in Palm Desert ahead of Stagecoach appearance

The world-famous Budweiser Clydesdales made their annual beer deliveries to select restaurants in El Paseo today in advance of their appearance at the Stagecoach Country Music Festival this weekend.

The iconic draught horses make an appearance in the Coachella Valley every year ahead of the music festival, which is set to be headlined by Eric Church, Miranda Lambert and Morgan Wallen.

El Paseo Shopping District welcomed the Clydesdales Wednesday as they unloaded and hitched at 1 p.m. behind the Daily Grill restaurant in Palm Desert.

The horses then trotted down El Paseo at 2 p.m., making beer deliveries to the restaurants along the path. Anyone could get a sight of the horses while having lunch at one of the various restaurant patios or standing by the route.

A Dalmatian "coach dog'' accompanied the eight-horse hitch and red Budweiser beer wagon to protect the horses and guard the beer.
