This talk will introduce two statistical mechanics models on the lattice. The spins in these models have a hyperbolic symmetry. Correlations for these models can be expressed in terms of a random walk in a highly correlated random environment. In the SUSY hyperbolic case these walks are closely related to the vertex reinforced jump process and to the edge reinforced random walk. (Joint work with M. Disertori and M. Zirnbauer.)
