The Cowgirl and the Colts   By Paul Travers

In 1959 Carolyn Clark and her pony Dixie rode into the pages of football history as the first female mascot in professional football.  Carolyn was  an accomplished horsewoman by the age of ten and daughter of the legendary jockey Willie Clark. She dreamed of starting a riding academy for handicapped children.  Her fame as a Baltimore Colt created a touching story of faith, family, friendship and football.  This is her story – a look at life in the 1950’s, professional football, horses, and rock and roll as seen through the eyes of a young cowgirl.   “The Baltimore Colts were a complete team: that was not just the players but the fans.  What would that team have been without Carolyn and Dixie?  They were special part of that team, the magical and fragile bond between players and fans."   Raymond Berry, Baltimore Colts 1955-1967, 1958 and 1959 World Championship teams, Pro Football Hall of Fame 1973.
