James Poole, at right, tends to one of the two Clydesdale horses that were in Greeneville on Wednesday. The horses were at the local Check Into Cash store, at 831 Tusculum Blvd., as part of a nationwide promotional tour for the company. The horses' trailer in the parking lot was emblazoned with the words “Cashdales from Check Into Cash.” The Clydesdales are owned by the Check Into Cash company. Matt Robers, at left, a handler with Cashdales, talks to a small group that arrived about 3 p.m. to see the statuesque draft horses. The horses are two of the eight members of the 2010 World Championship Team and are on track to visit the more than 1,100 Check Into Cash locations. They have appeared in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York and escorted His Royal Highness The Duke of Cambridge, Prince William and his wife, Catherine, to an event in 2011. Each horse has a weight of more than 2,000 pounds. Their shoes are the size of dinner plates and weigh more than 3 pounds each.
