GUERNSEY – There wasn’t any rain, sleet or snow the postal service has always promised to overcome, but that was welcome news to the riders from the Southeast Wyoming Pony Express Association who were delivering holiday mail the old-fashioned way this past Saturday.
Under a sunny sky with just a slight breeze, riders loaded up 15 horses with nearly 2,000 pieces of holiday mail and carried them across a section of the original Pony Express route between Fort Laramie and Guernsey, Wyoming in the group’s annual Christmas Card Ride. Included were cards addressed to 46 different states, four countries, four overseas military personnel and this year, even Santa Claus will get a specially marked letter this year.
