Many of the horses have a story. Becca rides "Red Ribbons" based on the ribbons placed in the hair of a horse that brought the first printing press to Missoula, Bill and Alex ride the Pony Express horse, and Laura rides "Evansgone", a horse commemorating the house on Evans street that 11 children from a Missoula family grew up in. A dragon feeds the rings, including the desirable brass ring for a free ride. A castle hides the organ.
