Horses, Saratoga Style Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Printess Caroline: Last night, I saw that one mystery cache that had ALR requirements was changed to a traditional cache by nyadmin, seemingly without preliminary notice to the cache owner. While I understand that I can no longer enforce the original additional requirement I had placed on logging this cache, I've always considered this cache more than a regular cache. In fact, I only placed the micro so that it could be published as a geocache. The micro was actually pretty lame, in my opinion, and I would have never placed it without the more interesting aspect of looking for the horses. Therefore, I am acting preemptively and archiving this cache before it is made into something it was never intended to be. I will be removing the micro on the 30th, so you may still find and log this cache until then. Even after the 30th, I would welcome found-it logs that include two pictures of you with the horses. Thanks for playing! Printess Caroline

Geocache Description:

This cache is placed to introduce you to the Saratoga County Arts Council and to its project, "Horses, Saratoga Style". The Arts Council is a non-profit service organization that supports, promotes and strives to enhance the arts in the community. "Horses, Saratoga Style" is one of its most popular and visible projects.

In 2002, The Saratoga County Arts Council orchestrated the first "Horses, Saratoga Style" public art display that brought 24 artisticly designed horses to the streets of Saratoga. While most of them found new homes following the project, several of them have remained on display around town.

This summer, those remaining original horses have been joined by a new herd of "Horses, Saratoga Style". These 34 new horses have been welcomed by the community with even more enthusiasm than the first. The bequiling steeds may be found throughout Saratoga Springs (and a few in Schuylerville, too) until the official display ends at the end of October 2007. At that time, the horses will be auctioned and their whereabouts will be determined by their new owners. I'm certain that, as happened with the previous horses, a few of them will find their ways back into public view in Saratoga Springs and its environs.

DON'T FORGET YOUR CAMERA!!


Please upload pictures of you and/or your gps with TWO (2) of the horses from either of the "Horses, Saratoga Style" projects as well as sign the cache logbook when you log this cache. Be sure to check horse waypoints below. They will be especially useful for those who try this cache in winter months when the horses are far more challenging to find.

Stop in and check out the exhibit, gallery shop and schedule of events in The Arts Center while you are in the area! You might also ask for assistance in locating the horses there.
