DES MOINES – TF Clydesdales, a fifth-generation family operation located in rural Gladbrook and owned by Becky and Steve Fevold along with their daughter and son-in-law Katie and Jake Bauer, competed in the Percheron, Clydesdale & Draft Pony Horse Show Aug. 14-17 at the Iowa State Fair, carting up a bevy of awards including National Champions in Clydesdale Mare Unicorn and Men’s Mare Cart. Additionally, rising North Tama fifth grader Emma Bauer – TF Clydesdales’ current youngest competitor – took home National Jr Driver 14 & Under in Cart and in Team, while also winning the top award in Youth Cart Driver for the Clydesdale/Percheron division. Katie, a G-R graduate, was the National Top Female Driver in the Clydesdale Division as well. On Thursday, Aug. 14, during the first night of competition at the Jacobson Exhibition Center, the newspaper photographed the Fevold-Bauers and their helpers – including fellow Clydesdale breeders Brian and Michelle Swenson of Stacyville, Iowa, and Bryee Alpers of Indiana – as they prepped their black Clydesdale mares Tessa, Sally, Uri, and Mary for the Mare Four Horse Hitch class.
