“Our great-great-grandfather Adolphus Busch, he came over from Germany and started Budweiser.
He married Lily Anheuser and formed Anheuser-Busch.
It hasnt been done now in over 150 years.”
But its funny because people still do that all the time."
“My mom definitely kept a close eye on us,” Haley says, laughing.
“She threatened us.
We were never allowed to do anything like that.”
“Its the first thing we try coming into this world its another one of our familys traditions.
Yes, they’ve got Clydesdales at home
Those gigantic horses aren’t justfor show in beer commercials.
“We grew up with Clydesdales,” Haley says.
“We have them on our farm.
My dad takes us coaching.
All of us know how to drive the coach.
Its a big tradition in our family.
We love our Clydesdales.
Theyre so cute.”
Billy Jr. adds that it’s yet another one of the Busch family traditions they ensure to keep alive.
“Its scary at first, but its a blast.”
“Its a really fun time.
We have two right now on our farm.
They’re massive.”
But despite their gigantic stature, the Busch brother says they’re “just like puppy dogs.”
“Missy is named after Mississippi, where I went to college, Ole Miss,” he says.
Theyre giant dinosaurs and theyre super-exotic, especially with the feathers that grow over their hooves.
“Theyre like giant teddy bears,” Haley says.
“People get intimidated because theyre so massive.
Theyre these huge animals, but theyre so loving.
Theyll come up and put their head on your shoulder.
They just want to be around you.
And the self-described helicopter mom won’t let any one of them take it down.
“Ive never tried to take it down, but it is funny.
But Billy Jr. is quick to add, “Ive attempted several times to take it down.
Its always gone back up.
Thats just how controlling my mom is.”
“It reminds us all that shes” Haley begins, before they both finish “always watching.”
So of course her big private moment was caught on camera.
“Its definitely not easy,” she admits.
Were not going to hold back.
That was a part of my life and something that happened.
The Busch Family Brewedairs Thursdays at 9 p.m.
