Just the Facts: UW Doubles Down on Live Mascots
LARAMIE The Mountain West has Aztecs, Spartans, Rebels and Rainbow Warriors, but some mascots do involve animals live ones.
Wyoming has Cowboy Joe, a fourth generation Wyoming pony that trots through the end zone at War Memorial Stadium after every Pokes touchdown. That tradition started in the 1950s thanks to a donation from the Farthing Family of Cheyenne.
The school also utilizes a real horse and rider, which leads the team out of the tunnel on Saturdays during the fall.
