A Missouri Budweiser distributor canceled a full slate of events featuring the brand's iconic Clydesdale horses following threats made in the wake of Anheuser-Busch's controversial partnership with transgender woman influencer Dylan Mulvaney.
The Clydesdale showings, including an upcoming Springfield event, were canceled due to safety concerns regarding employees, Wil Fischer Distributing said, according to a report.

"We aren't going to comment on the issue," an executive for the distributor said. "Everything is still sensitive in social media."
Budweiser's giant Clydesdale horses have been a staple of the brand since 1933 when "August A. Busch, Jr. and Adolphus Busch III surprised their father, August A. Busch, Sr., with the gift of a six-horse Clydesdale hitch to commemorate the repeal of Prohibition of beer," according to Anheuser-Busch's website.
"Today, the Budweiser Clydesdales continue to be an enduring symbol of the brewer's heritage, tradition and commitment to quality, making hundreds of appearances across the country each year," the website read.
The threats leading to the cancellation of Clydesdale events came as conservatives continue their crusade on Anheuser-Busch following Bud Light's partnership with Mulvaney.
Dressed like Audrey Hepburn from Breakfast at Tiffany's, wearing a black dress, black gloves, an updo hairstyle, and a necklace, Mulvaney posted a promotion video on April 1 carrying five Bud Light cans.

"This month, I celebrated my '365 Days of Womanhood,' and Bud Light sent me possibly the best gift ever ... a can with my face on it," Mulvaney said.
Many on the Right are now calling for a boycott of the beverage brand.
