Description

 This little moveable is one of a series of ten which have a monopoly on the GA4740's. Some of these little tokens are very obviously travel related, others less so, but do not be fooled. These tokens have been travelling some of the worlds most famous streets for in excess of seventy years. The horse is  one of the later tokens. It was first introduced to the standard set of pieces post war.

The horse needs no introduction. We have been using horses for one purpose or another for the best part of six thousand years and it's place as a transport cache is indisputable.

We like to include a FTF pathtag in our hides but this was obviously impractical with these little magnetics. Instead we have decided to offer a FTF pathtag to the first ten teams to find all ten tokens. This offer is for the duration of "Bingo", so if you find all ten before the end of January, just PM us with your dates and a mailing address and you have a very good chance of receiving a FTF tag. There's ten caches so we're offering ten tags. We're not keeping count so first in, best dressed!

This is a Bingo cache so we ask finders to respect the rules. Please do not log a find unless you are prepared to move this cache to a new location at least one kilometre from where you found it.

Logs

This moveable seems to have been found and removed in Apr 17, however to date it has not been relocated.

As this is now almost 12 months ago, the chances of the cache being relocated are minimal. To keep the Geocaching Australia database clean and up to date we are archiving the cache.

If the cache owner can confirm that the cache has be relocated (maybe by contacting the previous finder), they can post an unarchive log and the cache will be back in the game.

We were thinking a moveable cache was never going to happen in our area and then this arrived, though unbeknown to us for a few days. So what a surprise this morning to see a blue B icon in Armidale when we checked the GA map. Clapping It's not there anymore! We went straight up and grabbed it. TFTM Nutwood33 and for placing it here.

This looked like nice country for a little horse so out he went. This is a very little cache so I'll give a detailed hint as it may be waiting a while. The horse rides again! Dancing
 
This cache looks like it's MIA so we'll archive it to stop it turning up in lists and queries. If it resurfaces then the owner can resurrect it by placing an "Unarchived" log against it.

Couldn't resist finding our wee horse. Been a while since we saw this nag, but it's still in good shape. These little nano's have survived surprisingly well. I might have to invest in some stainless key rings for them as the only deterioration is the rust on the key ring. Very HappyClan Phoenix

Thought this was an appropriate location. Really hope the coords are correct it was bucketing down when I set it in the GPS. Will try to duck back there and double check.
Area can be a bit muggle prone.

Mr y'st went to retrieve this one while Mrs y'st and Kiricat watched from above. Glad Mr y'st has good balance. Lunchtime muggles were blissfully unaware of what was going on below. Will be out again soon.

The Race is on! We decided to place ourselves in a potentially cache rich area in the hope of some FTF’s. We also placed some of our own caches in another cacher’s area to tempt them and delay them. Sneaky sneaky I know! Well our strategy kind of worked, when published we were 200 odd meters from our first find of the night. Over the next 2 and a half hours we managed 11 ftf’s.
This was our turning point for the night, its 1.30am do we want work or way home or keep going? Time to head home, pikers!
Thanks for the cache and the FTF.
