[QUOTE="STS11, post: 4108179, member: 43951"] If you are talking about the sooner schooner, here is the story. I was president of the foundation that conceived it and provided it. In 1962 Little Red was the OU mascot. The university was open for a change. Two brothers in Sapulpa, conceived the idea. The brothers were Charlie and Dr. Meryl Bartlett. It was a 1/3 sized replica of the wagon that their parents came to Oklahoma in. The ponies were all white welsh ponies. I don't know about now. The university accepted the mascot idea in 1963. They first performed in the fall of 1963, OU vs USC. The horses were pastured in Sapulpa. I fed them. The wagon was kept there as well. They are not there now. I went by the land where we kept them, and the barn and fencing is gone. I don't know where they are now. Everyone involved with it is now gone, so I can tell any story I want. This is pretty accurate though. [/QUOTE]
