Bill Schuler raises Clydesdale horses as a hobby and has a total of 34 horses on his farm, many of which tout multiple championship wins.

But when he went outside Wednesday, one horse  – Schuler Farms Quicksilver’s Southern Comfort – was out of place. In a small enclosure behind his barn, the 9-month-old stud colt was standing by himself.
