About This Item

patriotic Canadian

2021 -- I was very disappointed to have this trackable disappear after the 517th stop, in 2014.  It was my favorite because of the memories involved.  I would still like to see it returned to its original cache-- Resting Before Travel - BTTCAR3 !

Hang on!  That's what my owner did when Prince, a horse much more powerful than she was, decided he wanted to go home. 

She, kicking and prodding all the way, rode him to the country school during holidays to practise on the piano.  He barely walked.  Turn him toward home and hang on.  If he was allowed to get into a gallop, he never slowed down, on the straight away or at the corners.

The trickest part was the turn into the farm yard.  If you were still on his back after that corner, you were home free.  Fortunately, he always stopped just before entering the barn.

I'll be disappointed if this one is lost. Its a favorite of mine and has traveled much farther than any of my other trackables. Please. If you have it, it would be much appreciated if you would get it back on the road.

ALL THE WAY from Alberta, CA - eh? Cooooool!!

I have a similar story as the owner of this TB shared in the item's description, except mine involved a horse named JJ in West Yellowstone NP. Hit a meadow and it followed it's bestie at FULL GALLOP when she noticed her buddy had gone off ahead of her. Scared the hell outta me and I held on for dear life!! I'm sure we weren't going terribly fast, but doggone -- when you're not familiar with riding - it seemed like mach10!

Saw at the Downtown SLC TBH amongst some fantastic company. Only had 2 to trade evenly, so had to leave this guy for another. Thanks for releasing it!!
