Geocache Description:

***UPDATE*** Effort is being made to perform much needed maintenance on the South Mountain Geotrail. Although most geocaches can still be located and enjoyed, many are missing keywords and stamps. Your feedback is valuable as we prioritize maintenance concerns for the Geotrail. In the meantime, please excuse our condition. If in need of keywords for completing your Geotrail Passport, replace missing keywords with a description of local features unique to the geocache location. Thank you for your understanding! ***UPDATE***

There is an ongoing debate over whether a miniature horse possesses horse or pony characteristics. While technically, any member of the horse family under 58 inches is termed a “pony,” many breeds – including some miniature breeds – actually retain the characteristics of a horse. Miniature horses date back to the 17th century when they were bred as pets for Europe’s nobility, including French King Louis XIV. Not all miniature horses, however, were pampered pets of royalty. Some were used as “pit ponies,” working in coal mines around Northern Europe.

Today, the American Miniature Horse is one of the world’s fastest growing and most beloved equine breeds. The Miniature Horse comes in a rainbow of coat colors and patterns and several body types, including draft and Arabian. Miniature horses are also used as companion animals for people with disabilities.

SOUTH MOUNTAIN GEOTRAIL

The geocache hidden at the posted coordinates is a regular geocache. However, it is also part of the South Mountain GeoTrail (SMGeoTrail), a project funded by both public and private funds that is designed to educate residents and visitors about agricultural, heritage, and natural sites within the South Mountain Region. The SMGeoTrail utilizes the growing interest in geocaching to connect an increasingly tech savvy public to the natural assets of the South Mountain Region. This cache contains a unique self-inking rubber stamp, which you should use to stamp your SMGeoTrail Passport to verify that you found it. After logging a minimum of 30 caches, you are eligible for a one-of-a-kind GeoCoin. Click on the South Mountain GeoTrail Logo below for more information.
