What is the deal with horses? Does anyone geocache by horseback?

I have yet to read about someone's geocaching by horse experience. The most I see in the forums is that many people like beating dead ones. Is this any way to treat such noble animals?

(Reference: In the renaissance, horses had higher status than the middle class)

 

Sure, a lot of people like riding CO_admin for being such a stickler on having topics relate to geocaching in some way. I mean, this is the Geocaching website after all. I, of all people, should know that by now.

 

Now wait, why am I picking on CO_admin? Oh yeah, his avatar depicts him as a horse. A pony, actually. To be more specific, a toy called "My Little Pony".

 

CO_admin recently changed his avatar to a "new version" of My Little Pony. The new one is a darker shade of purple, but it is still a purple pony. It started with a rubber ducky and has moved on to larger creatures. What do you think of this progression?

 

 

Is this just the beginning of "Pony Day" in the forums? I mean, Carleen Day and Smurf Day were pretty popular. Cat Thread and Dog Thread did fairly well. Are there others out there with horse or pony avatars? Is CO_admin setting the stage for a takeover from the frogs? Why is a purple pony our main authority figure besides the man who is constantly "Workin' on it"?

I wouldn't make much of it unless he starts taking a pony toy with him on geocache hunts and includes it in the photos. If he were to actually write about his pony in the cache log like it's a living breathing animal, theN you really need to worry. We might have to have him committed (to Hooters or somewhere similar) if he starts doing that.

Well, his alter ego has some interesting avatars as well:

 

 

Why is there no logical progression here? I only see it with the admin's account.

You're just trying to cause trouble, aren't you...

Of course, we all know he would NEVER do that! Right?

Actually, I like the purple poney. And the guy behind the avatar, too.

 

He has a tough job, and I don't necessarily agree with all his decisions, but, oh well.

 

I'd like to stay on topic here, but I'm having trouble determining just what the topic is. If it's a suggestion that everyone should change their avatars again, I vote no.

 

I'm still dizzy from the last two rounds.

 

Even 9Key seems to have settled into a semi-permanent avatar!

What's with the editing in that log?

Oh, and we now know that his pony's name is Kimono

[+Mopar]

Back to the topic, whenever I see this topic, it makes me think of this, not purple ponies.

[+mtn-man]

I think he let the pony assist to much with the log. There were some *corrections*.

[+Team GPSaxophone]

I'd like to stay on topic here, but I'm having trouble determining just what the topic is.

For those with MBA's, the topic is horses and geocaching. I thought it was pretty clear by the title and the original post, but then I'm an engineer and actually earned my degree.

[uperdooper]

ADHD kicking again here. for one day only. it's not purple, or a pony. but it's a horse.

 

for forum posterity

[+Renegade Knight]

One of my caching partners The Druid Charmer has 7 of those biological 4x4 units. She does have an interest in caching by horseback and the wheels and sooner or later you can expect some horseback riding caches to appear.

OK...so we're just horsin' around then!

[Keystone]

Leave the ponies alone. The alternative is to have the forums moderated by the PowerPuff Girls. And I am not always in a "Bubbles" mood. When I'm in a "Buttercup" mood, watch out. It is like Hydee without chocolate.

[+hydee]

you are all safe today, I made double chocolate brownies with chocolate chips this morning !

I just realized that the "new" purple pony is "less blue" than the "old" one. Is that because you found a cache?

[+hydee]

but what if i have a chocolate pony? her name is chocolate delight, isnt she cute

 

[+Halden]

Are My Little Ponies making a come back?

[+sept1c_tank]

OH NOOOOOOOOOOO!!

[+The Cheeseheads]

Are My Little Ponies making a come back?

Yep, along with Care Bears, Strawberry Shortcake and all the other cutsey toys from when you were a kid.

[+Halden]

How did you know I used to be a kid???

 

Eighties oys makig a comeback huh. How about those garbage Pail Kids?

Then that is perfectly acceptable. Kimono thinks your pony has pretty hair

[+geoguyver]

What is the deal with horses? Does anyone geocache by horseback?

I do, but I usually have people point and laugh when going through parks and on trails.

I don't know why though...

Here is my "noble" steed!

I wish they wouldn't laugh, it makes me feel bad.

[Keystone]

Thank goodness that it was Kimono who accompanied the intrepid LaPaglia on this cache hunt. There are "good" ponies and "bad" ponies.

 

[+The Cheeseheads]

This little guy wants to be a horse...

 

[+CYBret]

 

Let me know if the ponies get hungry

I didn't know Hydee likes chocolate... now I know what to send next time I need an illegal cache approved....

It's not the horse they're laughing at. It's the bloody half coconuts you're carrying to make the sound effects!

And yes, I love the codpiece. Do you wear it to make a fashion statement or just for the halibut?

[+Halden]

Something Fishy is going on?

[ju66l3r]

A true donkey who became a stallion...

 

[Tahosa and Sons]

From my own personal experiences and observances I don't think that little pony could take him caching. He needs a real BIG HORSE to haul him around.

[+Mopar]

Just ONE big horse? I think NOT!

Here's a pic of ponyboy on his way to another cache:

Oh! Then it isn't me their laughing at, it must be my serf who has the coconut halves!

That makes me feel so much better. Well now I can go out for gallop!

Hi, guys!

Hey, Criminal! You may want to check out some of my logs! I usually go geocaching with my friend RichardMoore, but sometimes on my own! But I'm not a horse, I'm a squirrel!

 

Have fun!

What a day! I started this thread about horses, then went out caching. On our second cache, the kids got to ride a horse! Is this just coincidence, or CO's doing?

[+sept1c_tank]

So is that a "Morgan" horse?
