Peruna getting Big Horse Friend

Got publicity on KXAS-TV, Ch. 5 (Fort Worth station) tonight at 6 p.m. during the week of the SMU vs TCU game. :wink:

I just want to stress that this IS NOT a replacement for Peruna. Our Shetland pony Peruna remains a beloved living mascot for SMU Athletics, continuing a spirited tradition. Secondly, the presence of Peruna the Shetland pony and a Mustang at SMU is not new â€“ in the late 1960s, both appeared on the field with the Squires. Here are the photos:

And already has a song, and has a cute doll likeness my daughter carries to games. So there.

SMU SID,
I mean no disrespect, but if it was a good idea back then, why was the mustang and rider discontinued?

who cares, win some games.

by **bubba pony** » Wed Sep 30, 2009 7:34 pm

this is BS. our school has terrible marketing abilities. Peruna is the Alpha horse and keep that other one out of my sight.
correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe SMU is the only division 1 school that are the mustangs.
we are lucky to have a cool mascot, this administration should embellish that fact.
rather change the athletic director before changing anything about Peruna.

Be one of the first 10,000 into the stadium to get a towel to wave in support of this during halftime!!

For those that don't know 60 Minutes did an entire segment on the Pickens' Mustang Foundation last spring sometime.

And how much $$$ did Boone pay for that "priceless puff piece"?

It's a new day on the Hilltop.

Yes we can. Yes we can.

This is a disgrace, and a complete lack of respect for college football tradition. One faction wanted Peruna eliminated entirely, and another stood firm, so now we have 2 mascots. Unbelievably stupid.

It is also clear that this is the beginning of the phasing out of Peruna. Enjoy Peruna while you can. Go out of your way to go pet Peruna on the Boulevard. Because there are many idiotic people who believe that having a "full sized horse" will actually help our football team win more.

I believe they plan on offering "Mustang rides" around the Boulevard pre-game.

For a nominal donation.

Pony Up could take on a whole new meaing.
