+pendragon9321 Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Just setting Harry the Horse travel bug to explore the world, especially caches reachable by horse/pony and just wondered how many people used this mode of transport. Not managed many of mine so far on the pone but enjoyed taking him along for the hunt when I've been able Quote Link to comment

So i'd guess not a lot of peeps do. Quote Link to comment
+Bear and Ragged Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 There is a cacher over Leicestershire way that rides, and has -I think- done a few caches by horse... Quote Link to comment
+Bear and Ragged Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Pita getting on and off... Getting ON is the problem. Getting off is easy. As easy as falling off a log... Quote Link to comment
+Pharisee Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Gonna show my age here... Does anyone remember a television programme in the 60's - 70's call 'Out of Town' presented by Jack Hargreaves? In a number of episodes he travelled the byway with a pack pony. I always thought I'd like to do that someday... not ride the pony but just use it to carry a tent and stuff and wander the old roads. Maybe I still will... one day... and pick up a cache or two along the way. Quote Link to comment

+Original A1 Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 "Anyone cache by pony/horse?" Er... nope! I've ridden to a cache, but my steed involved two wheels and spent a lot more time trying to unseat me than your average four-legged equine. Quote Link to comment
+reddeeps Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 We have part of a cache series which my daughter regulary maintains via pony. (does that count) Quote Link to comment

+Jonovich Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 There is a cacher over Leicestershire way that rides, and has -I think- done a few caches by horse... Would that be Splendidz and INCA the Geohorse you are thinking of? Over near Meerkat Harborough. Jon Quote Link to comment
+Brentorboxer Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Many years ago long time before geocaching was invented, I have found letterboxes by horseback, does that count? Quote Link to comment
+currykev Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Most of my caching exploits seem to follow in the hoof of horses. That's why I wear boots that don't mind the extra mud they create. Quote Link to comment

Jon http://img.geocaching.com/cache/log/ed8783...e785c5bdaad.jpg Yes, that's me I've done a few caches from Inca the Geohorse..... but it doesn't amuse him very much and it's a bit of a pain getting on and off, you can get to FTFs faster though Didz Quote Link to comment
+FantasyRaider Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 How about caching on a horse and cart? My younger Son's girlfriend has a horse & cart and i'm off to grab some caches around Tipton with her soon. Does that count? Quote Link to comment
