Hello everyone and welcome back. I hope you're having an amazing day wherever you are. I do apologize. There will be no intro and outro. Music for the foreseeable future until I can create or have someone create a new intro and outro for me. I used a script when I am podcasting and recording my podcast episodes and it updated and, and can't insert the intro and outro the way I want to, and so. It's just gonna be what it is. So welcome back to the Ultra Line Podcast. If you're new here. My name is Claire Kellems. I am a psychic medium. I am a coach, a speaker, mentor, all the things I wanted to share on today's episode. Before we dive too far into it, I wanted to talk today about manifestation, and I wanted to share with you the coolest story about how I. Just recently realized, or just recently it came to my awareness that I act, I actually manifested a Budweiser Clydesdale in the closest sense possible. And so I wanted to talk to you about manifestation today because this was something that. I started doing, I started working with like actual manifestation about a year or two ago, and honestly, I didn't think I was the best manifester. I understood how manifestation worked, but I didn't, I wasn't really getting any results from it, and so I was like, whatever. Maybe just, maybe I'm not manifesting the way. I need to, or like manifesting the right way. I don't know. I didn't really think I was doing it, doing it very well, so I kind of just turned a blind eye to it, whatever. But I'll share with you this story here in just a little bit about how it literally changed my entire, entire outlook and. It got me to a point where I was like, holy crap, anything is actually possible, like very genuinely, like all jokes aside. No bs. Like all, anything is possible. And so I've really started to dive back into manifestation because I had this really super incredible thing happen to me and realized that I absolutely manifested this horse from the time I was nine years old. So I will Go ahead. Let me give you a little bit of background on manifestation first. So. I'm not a manifestation coach, so take this with, you know, take this lightly and know that I like, know a lot of like beginner stuff about manifestation, but manifestation is essentially creating something that wasn't in your awareness previously and then bringing it into real life. So creating something that in the present moment you don't have, but turning it into something that you will have. So we manifest thoughts every day. We manifest everything every day when we. Are hyper fixated on something or when we think a specific way, say, say you think to yourself, oh, I'm not good enough. You will manifest a life. Thinking I'm not good enough. And so all the experiences that you will experience in your life will be a reflection of that. I'm not good enough. If you believe about yourself that you are super confident that you belong in the room, that you, um, can do anything, you will literally, your subconscious mind will pick up. Will filter things that make you feel confident, um, experiences and opportunities that make you feel like you belong. All of the things. So your thoughts are literally manifestations. And so I got in more interested in manifestation and I was like, okay, I'll just manifest a crap ton of money and like be done with it. But I didn't have, I didn't have any real. The idea of how to manifest. I just thought you declared to the world that you are a manifester and then all things came to you if you're an office fan. I essentially did what, when Michael Scott declares bankruptcy and he just screams, I declare bankruptcy and expected bankruptcy to happen. That was literally me. That was, that was me. I was like, I declare money. Manifest it and then did nothing else. So I had to really understand and learn how to manifest, and I didn't really even understand it until it came full circle for me and I was able to see, oh, here's how I was actually manifesting. Here's how I was actually doing it. So I'm gonna go ahead and share with you a story about a Clydesdale named Leo, and if you have listened previously before, you've probably heard me mention his name before and his story a little bit, but his story actually continues. I just found out all this information like a week ago or less, and so I wanted to share with you. Today, this story to literally prove to you that anything is possible, like literally anything. So when I was a 9-year-old girl, the Budweiser Clydesdales came to my town or came to the town next to us in Tell City, and they rode around City hall, So. As you know, I'm a horse girl. I love horses. And at that time when I saw those Clydesdales, I was like, oh my God, they're beautiful. They were stunning. They were like literally the most massive creatures I've ever seen in real life. And I remember watching them walk around. I can remember where I was standing at City Hall watching them come around the like the square. And I looked at my parents'. And I said, I will own a Budweiser Clydesdale one day. And so I'm gonna give you a little backstory on the Budweiser Clydesdales just for reference, just so you can have. So the Budweiser Clydesdales are an eight hitch team of Clydesdales. They, so they hook up in pairs of two, they hook up eight horses to a big wagon. The Budweiser like beer, like with the Dalmatian, all the things. So the Budweiser Clydesdale has to have specific characteristics to be a Budweiser Clydesdale. It has to be obviously a Clydesdale. They have to be the traditional bay color with the four white stockings and a big blaze, a big white stripe, essentially down their face. They have to be a gelding. They have to be at least, I think it's at least 18 hands, and they have to have a good temperament. I'm sure there's also other characteristics, but that's primarily. What it what is required to be a Budweiser Clydesdale and the Budweiser Clydesdale breeding program breeding opera operation. It is pretty secretive. You cannot breed to a Budweiser Clydesdale. You cannot purchase a Budweiser Clydesdale for breeding. You cannot purchase a Budweiser Clydesdale period. Once a Budweiser Clydesdale is a Budweiser Clydesdale, they pretty much retire on a Budweiser Clydesdale farm. Like there's no you, you can't just go buy one. And so they are a pretty. Like closed group of horses. Now in Hauser Busch, they like to use imported bloodlines. So, long story short, when I was 9, 10 ,11, whenever it was, and I looked at my mom or my dad and I said, I will own a Budweiser Clydesdale one day. Okay. We're gonna fast forward from like a 9-year-old, 10-year-old to a 20 I. 7-year-old. It was last spring, actually, last winter. Well, the winter of 2024, I think it was. I woke up one morning, I swear to you, I woke up one morning and I had this like overwhelming feeling that I was gonna own a Clydesdale. And I always said, I want to own a Budweiser Clydesdale. And what I meant by that was I wanted to own a Clydesdale with the traditional Budweiser characteristics. I knew that I, I knew I wouldn't be able to own a Budweiser Clydesdale that was. Like very obvious and apparent to me, like, like you can't own one. So like I knew that, but I kept saying, I wanna own a Budweiser Clydesdale, meaning the traditional bay color, the four white stockings, gelding, all of the things. And so I, when I woke up, I was like, I think I'm gonna own. I think I'm gonna get to Clydesdale soon. I was like freaking out. I was so excited. And at the time I had a little bit of knowledge on manifestation, on vis visualization on all the things. And so I was like, I'm gonna make this sucker real. I, I'm gonna manifest this Clydesdale. So I literally. We would wake up every morning and I would imagine a Budweiser Clydesdale out in our pasture, like with the other horses. I went to the farm store and I bought, um, if you're not familiar, there's little like horse figurines. They're like the sch like brand, um, horses. I went and bought a little figurine Clydesdale that was a traditional Bay Clydesdale. Um, with the four white stockings and the markings kind of on the belly and the blaze face. So for, oh, I don't know, for like several weeks, I would carry around this toy horse and I would imagine there would be a Budweiser Clydesdale out out in my pasture. And my, my dad and my grandpa were all kind of horse people. Um, my grandpa and I were really close growing up and we really bonded over the horses. We, we loved doing everything with the horses. My grandpa loves driving horses, so he always had horses growing up, and that's kind of how I got into. Into horses. And, it was about, I think it was January, 2025, my dad, was sitting in our, in my kitchen. He was like, Hey, I wanna show you something, um, that your grandpa sent me. And it was a, Picture of a Clydesdale, and I like, all but passed out in my kitchen. And my dad was like, what do you think about it? Your grandpa? Like, your grandpa found it. And I was like, oh. I like, I don't know, like I want obviously wanted to know more about it. Like I was literally about to pass out on my kitchen floor, but I was like, let's, like, let's look into him more, like all the things. And so what happened was my, like I had told my, I told my family that like I was like manifesting a Clydesdale and so naturally, like my grandpa just like starts looking. He loves to look for horses and he came across Leo, And actually what it was my grandpa years ago. Went to this farm in Ohio that has a bunch of draft horses and they have like a, um, it's like an Amish community and they have like a petting zoo and like you can ride the draft horses, all the things. And my grandpa just happened to remember this farm and he called and asked if they by chance had any Clydesdales for sale and they were like, actually, believe it or not. We have literally one Clydesdale. They don't typically have Clydesdales. They usually have, um, Belgian horses or Belgian drafts and other draft horses. But they had one Clydesdale and he, you know, he sent it to us. He's sending us all the videos. The Clydesdale would, you know, it rode and drove, He was six years old at the time. He was a gelding and he was 18. Three hands, which he's a little over or like a right at, or a little over six feet at his shoulder. So my grandpa sends this to me. We're talking about it, and I was like, I don't wanna rush into anything because I want this to be like the right. Choice, like the right decision, make sure this is the right horse for us. And you know, long story short, we went back and forth for a little bit and we ended up, uh, my dad, my sister and I drove to Ohio and we picked up Leo in February of last year, so February of 2025. I had looked into his. Registration papers when we got him in the mail or got the registration papers in the mail, not the Clydesdale. Um, and it turns out that he, that Leo is from like, really good bloodlines. There are, there's a breeder in Canada, um, that are pretty, I would say probably the most, um, notable Clydesdale breeders in North America. And he was. From that, those breeders. Um, he had a different owner, but his sire was a pretty notable sire. His great-grand sire, his grand sire, his great-grand sire. They were all very notable stallions. His mother, so his dam. WA won, I think a world champion and a six hitch team of mares like in 2019, something like that, 2018. So he came from really, really good bloodlines and I thought this like was the coolest thing. Like it was, it was so neat that somehow I owned a Clydesdale that came from a super notable stallion and a world champion mare. So I think the story ends at this point. So fast forward to about a week ago. Okay. I'm looking through his papers again. I'm looking at the sire, I'm looking at the dam, and I'm looking at past, you know, sires and stallions in the, in his pedigree and. I was comparing them to the website to to the breeder's website. 'cause they have all their stallions and previous stallions, most of them listed and fun facts about each stallion. And so I was looking and I was reading about all of them. And there was one stallion. It was Leo's great-grand sire on his mom's side. I was reading about his description on the website and I was reading about him how he was like one of the most notable stallions of their operation, like one of the most prolific, all like all the things like this was a really top-notch stallion that was imported from Europe, Scotland, I can't remember, but he was imported. He was one of the best of their operations and I was reading. At the end of the paragraph, it said that they used this stallion in their breeding operation up until 2001 when Anheuser Busch purchased him to head their breeding operation in St. Louis, Missouri for the Budweiser Clydesdales. And I was like, there is no way. This stallion, Leo's great-grand sire, was purchased to head the breeding operation for the actual Budweiser Clydesdales in 2001. In St. Louis, Missouri. And I was like, oh my God. Oh my God. And so I'm freaking out. I am so excited. I am freaking out and I keep reading, okay. I read about him and I'm like texting everyone I know. I'm trying to call everyone I know and I keep reading and I came across a post on their Facebook page from 2023. It was of Leo's sire. So Leo's dad and I was reading about the horse and, you know, they were talking about again, how he was one of the most like prolific sires, that they had, you know, all the things about him. And there was a sentence right, in the middle of the post and it said. Leo Sire has also welcomed his first foals for the famous Budweiser Clydesdales. And now that was 2023. That post was 2023. So three years ago. And if you didn't know Budweiser Clydesdale, start hitching. Around three to four years old. And the Budweiser Clydesdales, the one of the requirements is that they, I believe they have to be at least four years old to start hitching, which would mean that if Leo's sire, sired foals for Budweiser, for the Budweiser Clydesdales, they would start hitching in the next. A year or so. So I manifested not only just a Clydesdale, but a Clydesdale whose sire and great grand sire Sied, actual Budweiser Clydesdales. I manifested a Clydesdale as close as you could possibly get. To a Budweiser Clydesdale, you can't get any closer than having a half sibling that is potentially could be a Budweiser Clydesdale in the next few years. Now, when I tell you that I quite literally almost passed out, I, I very genuinely mean I almost passed out. I was calling and texting everyone I knew because. I realized, like I was so excited in that moment, obviously, but after like I was thinking about it, I was like, holy shit. I actually, I, all those years ago when I declared, when I told someone I will own a Budweiser Clydesdale one day. I did not realize I would actually legitimately as close as you can possibly get to owning a Budweiser Clydesdale, own a Clydesdale of that notability. And so I was thinking about it and when we found Leo, like I said, my grandpa just happened to have gone to this farm in the middle of Ohio and he just happened to call. And they had one Clydesdale, and that one Clydesdale just happened to be Leo. Who, how he got there. I do not know. He was, from what I can tell, his prev, his original owner, um, sold them and then he went through an auction or two and got to the farm that we got him from. So how I own, how there is a legitimate Clydesdale that has ties to Budweiser, Clydesdales out in my pasture right now is beyond me. And I realized in that moment, I was like, holy shit. I actually manifested a Budweiser ides tale in every sense of the word. And not only that. Do you remember me telling you earlier about the requirements to be a Budweiser Clydesdale? Leo is a gelding. He is 18 three hands. He is traditional bay with the traditional four white stockings with the traditional blaze face. Leo, in every sense of the word. Meets the requirements or could potentially meet the requirements to be a freaking Budweiser Clydesdale. How? Honestly, how cool is that? Like how cool is that? And I've been sitting with this for a couple days now, and every time I think about it, it absolutely just blows my mind. And like in that moment of realization that I did that, that I manifested that. I was like, there is literally nothing I can't do. There is literally, at this point, there's nothing I can't do. If I can do that, if I can, if I can manifest a freaking Clydesdale that has very, very close ties to the Budweiser Clydesdales, I can freaking do anything. Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? Do you know how hard it is impossible to own a Budweiser Clydesdale? Like you can't just go buy one, you can't go breed new one. You can't just go say, Hey, I want a Budweiser Clydesdale. They are a closed operation. So how I, how I ended up with Leo is simply beyond me and beyond words and like, it's just, it's so magical. It's so incredible. And so I like, I wanted to share this with you all because I want you to know that like I very genuinely, I don't think I'm some special like. Guru or manifester but I absolutely, I I did that, I did that, and you can too. Like, it's not, I'm not special in the way that I, I can do it and you can't. You absolutely can do it too. And so I've been looking at everything in my life in a completely different lens. Okay? If I can do this, if I can do the impossible, then I can keep doing the impossible.. To manifest the life that I want to live. And you can too. Literally anyone can. Okay. I'm gonna hop off here. I hope you continue to have an amazing day wherever you are, and I will hopefully see you soon.
