<Tr> <Th> Conference </Th> <Td> Pac - 12 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> First seen </Th> <Td> 1961 </Td> </Tr> <P> Traveler is a horse who is the mascot of the University of Southern California . Traveler appears at all USC home football games in the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum as well as many other outdoor events, including numerous Rose Parades . The current horse is Traveler IX . 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 . On November 6, 2013, the costumed version of Tommy and Traveler were introduced for men's and women's basketball games . </P> <P> 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 . </P>
