When it comes to school mascots, few are as iconic and cool as the Trojan Horse, particularly the one at the University of Southern California (USC). This mythological mascot isn't just any horse; it's a real, live horse named Traveler who makes appearances at all USC home football games. Traveler is a white (or actually gray, but it looks white) horse that gallops around the stadium whenever the USC team scores, accompanied by a rider dressed as a Trojan warrior 🛡️. The tradition started back in 1961, and it's been a crowd favorite ever since. Traveler even gets to participate in the Rose Parade, making it a truly special and unique mascot. So, if you ever find yourself at a USC game, keep an eye out for this legendary horse and its regal rider 🏆
