Traveler ( mascot ) Traveler is a horse who is the mascot of the University of Southern California . Named after the horse of Civil War Confederate general Robert E . Lee , Traveler appears at all USC home football games in the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum as well as many other outdoor events , including numerous Rose Parade s . The current horse is Traveler VII . Although the Traveler web site describes Traveler as " pure white , " most of the horses who have served as Traveler are actually gray horses whose hair coats have become completely white . ( Truly white horses are quite uncommon . ) The rider , dressed as an idealized Trojan warrior , is often mistaken for Tommy Trojan , the Trojan portrayed in USC ' s famous Trojan Shrine statue ; however , the rider is unnamed and simply designated as a Trojan warrior with the horse as the official mascot . The Coliseum . Until it was renovated in the 1990s , the Coliseum included an Olympic running track going around the football field . This proved to be useful for Traveler , who would gallop around the track after every USC score and pump up the crowd . Once the track was removed , Traveler still made its way around the field but had to move cautiously to avoid people on the sidelines . The horse had a minor collision with a person in 2000 , and afterwards had human spotters running in front to clear a path . Previous mascots . Before Traveler , USC used another mascot , a series of canines known as George Tirebiter . There had also been several previous , unofficial horse mascots making appearances on USC sidelines since 1927 , but none were permanent . The idea for the current mascot began during the 1961 Rose Parade , when a USC events director spotted Richard Saukko and his white horse , Traveler , marching in the parade . After conferring with USC officials , the University persuaded Saukko to ride his horse during USC football games . Introduction . Traveler was introduced in the Fall of 1961 , during the USC Trojans football team ' s home opener at the Coliseum , against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets . To dress Saukko as a Trojan warrior , USC used its connections to the film industry to procure the costume worn by Charlton Heston in " Ben Hur " two years earlier . The costume proved to be too heavy for extended use , so Saukko made his own leather uniform for the 1962 season and the same costume has been used since . Riders . After Richard retired from riding the horse in 1988 , the Saukko family continued to own the successive horses acting as Traveler until 2002 . All subsequent riders have been USC alumni , and since Richard Saukko have been Cass Dabbs , Rick Oas , Tom Nolan , Ardeshir Radpour , Brent Dahlgren , and current riders Chuck O ' Donnell , and Hector Aguilar . Different horses . Several horses have been " Traveler " over the years , of breeds ranging from Tennessee Walking horses , to Arabian horse s and some crossbred animals . The current mascot , Traveler VII , is a purebred Andalusian horse , owned by Joanne Asman .
