Pin with a horse yoke and EUB - Equestrian something?

[marble]

I've had this pin for awhile and I can't find anything on it. I thought since it's a figural depiction of a yoke (?) that the E might stand for Equestrian, but nothing comes up.

It's about 9/16" across and has a screw post and screw nut backing. Thanks for any help!

That looks like a oxen yoke. Equestrian is horseback riding.

Well, it's in the "beasts of burden" theme. Where would oxen fit into "EUB"? Enormous United Beasts? Just kidding - I do appreciate any ideas at all, because I'm absolutely out of them (as evidenced by my latest expansion attempt of EUB, above).

This pin may have something to do with the celebration of the Mormon pioneers crossing the plains from Illinois to Utah Territory.

The letters maybe just someone's initials.

Here is a similar pin..1997 Utah Sesquicentennial "Faith in Every Footstep" pin with one charm, a handcart. The pin is a replica of an oxen yoke. This was made in 1997 to celebrate the 150th year of the Mormon pioneers crossing the plains.

Your's maybe from an earlier celebration of the event and having a person initials on it..

Thanks Skip. After looking at the item you posted a link to, I'm going to associate this pin with the Evangelical church and consider this solved.
