Anheuser-Busch also spends $550,000 annually breeding Clydesdale draft horses; Gus Busch sends them around the U.S. hitched to red Budweiser wagons, promoting beer in dry farm areas where Prohibition sentiment is still strong. His latest plan: to cross tiny Sicilian donkeys with even tinier Shetland ponies, thus develop the world's smallest mules to plug a 7-oz. "ladies'-size" Budweiser bottle...
