About
Express Clydesdales
In 1998,
Bob Funk, owner of Express Ranches and
CEO and Chairman of Express
Employment Professionals, visited the longstanding Canadian Western Agribition in
Regina, Saskatchewan. While visiting, he met and fell in love with the rare and
beautiful black and white Clydesdales. Mr. Funk saw an opportunity to bring
something entirely new and different to his home state of Oklahoma, a state
steeped in its own rich equestrian history. He intuitively knew that the
Clydesdales would become an unusual tourist attraction. And they have! Not only
do the Express Clydesdales meet thousands of visitors
each year at home in the beautiful and historical Clydesdale barn (originally
built in 1936 by H.I Grimes, an Oklahoma City oilman and farmer and restored
especially for the Clydesdales by Amish Carpenters in 1998), but they travel
across North America as ambassadors for Express Employment Professionals and help raise millions of
dollars for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals and other charities. Each
year, they star in some of the world’s most famous parades like Macy’s
Thanksgiving Day Parade, The Tournament of Roses Parade, The Chicago St.
Patrick’s Day Parade and the Kentucky Derby Pegasus Parade, just to name a few.
