It all began in the fall of 1994 at the Rat Hole in Provo, UT. Competition was always fierce whether it be the competition of the Rat Rug, Knee football in the front room, Football in the parking lot or who could eat out of Angels dishes first. These competitions were alway fun and full of laughter always ending with little or no hard feelings. Who could have imagined that only 4 years later in the spring of 1998, one of the most heated rivalries of this era would begin at Craig Ranch in Las Vegas, Nevada?
All it took to take the best of freinds and twist them into the fiercest of competitors for one day a year was a $0.35, orange, brown and golden pony trophy purchased at Deseret Industries thrift store. It all began as an excuse to escape to sunny Las Vegas, to get together as freinds and enjoy each others company. To this day each competitor looks foward to this event 364 days a year not just to escape to Vegas but to escape from Vegas with the "GOLDEN PONY".
