Jason Kelce Didn’t Steal This Super Bowl Ad — a Pony from NJ Did

This weekend, you will undoubtedly see a ton of memorable TV commercials during the Super Bowl, but one particular advertisement has a very unique connection to New Jersey.

That connection does not directly involve a person, although they are widely known across the region; it involves an adorable farm animal.

We all know that Budweiser beer and Clydesdale horses go hand-in-hand, and on Sunday during the big game, they will be airing a very patriotic commercial focused on America's 250th anniversary.

But that's not the one that has a direct connection to the Garden State.

Keep an eye out for the commercial for Garage Beer.

The Super Bowl Ad With a Very NJ Twist

If you haven't heard of Garage Beer, don't feel bad; I hadn't, either. But the whole point of airing a Super Bowl commercial is to stand out and this one definitely does.

This 30-second TV commercial features Jason Kelce, a living legend in and around Philadelphia for his time playing for the Eagles, poking a bit of fun at the traditional Budweiser ads.

You'll see in the commercial (below) that once a beer wagon being pulled by Clydesdales moves away, the Kelce Brothers are standing in front of a barn, and you'll see a pony.

That pony? He's from a Clydesdale farm right here in New Jersey.

The NJ Farm Behind the Super Bowl Star

Willow Grove Farm is located in Long Valley/Washington Township, Morris County, and it is home to well over a dozen Clydesdale horses. The 60-year-old, 120-acre farm is nestled in an absolutely beautiful part of the state, offering boarding, riding lessons, trail rides, and more.

And let me say this: horseback riding is one thing. Horseback riding on a Clydesdale, which they offer to the public, is absolutely amazing. I've visited Willow Grove Farm numerous times over the years, and it's been an amazing experience each time.

Anyway, back to the commercial... Willow Grove Farm and all of its gentle giants are home to one other creature, Doug the pony, who is significantly smaller than a typical Clydesdale, but he's currently stealing the show.

Yes, I've Met Doug (and He's a Big Deal)

Now, I'm not one to brag, but I'll gladly share a picture of me with Doug from a few years ago. We go way back...

Take a look at the commercial and watch for Doug, New Jersey's most famous pony, making his debut...
