Video Sadie and I were escorted along the trail by a big ole bull and his ladies. She enjoyed their company and called out to them when they ran out into the sage! This was her first time and my 11th year carrying the mail and what an adventure for her! Thank you NPEA. Looking forward to next year! Anne Martins Austin, NV Section 7.

2021 Pony Express Re-Ride Adventure Day 2&3 Section 7 (4 Pictures, 1 Video)

We have plenty of time leaving Cold Springs Station to get the final leg of Section 7. I wasn’t scheduled to get the mail till about 11pm and it was only 330pm. I did have to make the tough decision to back out of an earlier section in 7 because my boys needed a good rest. Did I mention we were short A LOT of riders this year? Since we still had lots of daylight left, I took Kaity to where she needed to pick me up from at Grubb’s, Continue Reading

It’s darn near 1am and we are finally bedding down for some semblance of sleep across HWY 50 from Sand Mountain. Kaity pitches a tent outside and I make a bed in the backseat of the truck. The boys are saddle-free and tied to the trailer eating away. I set the alarm for 3:30 so I can check the Pinger and website to see when the pony might be here. We are scheduled to get it at 6:30am. I barely sleep due to the random texts that are coming in, Continue Reading

Kaity and I make it to 2nd & Curry in Carson City and offload Apache. We have about 10 minutes to chitchat with the crowd when I hear “Rider Coming!” Holy Moly already?? After quickly relaying my route to the 4 police motorcycle escorts, the mochila is loaded, I’m saddled, and we are off! We take off down E Musser and head towards Mills Park. AHHH grass to run on! Apache picks up a canter, we interrupt a soccer game, and head to the eastbound side of HWY 50. It’s, Continue Reading

It’s finally here! After a chaotic morning of last-minute prep and wondering whether or not I was going to run out of gas in my SxS as I did the 6-mile roundtrip to the mailbox to pick up the ride pins, Kaity shows up, we load the ponies and head to Woodfords Station for the CA to NV Handoff and start of Section 1. We get there just after 11am and most everyone is there getting ready-go team! We learn CA is about 20 minutes behind schedule-not too shabby as, Continue Reading
Thank you Nevada

Hello Nevada Pony Express Fans, On behalf of the Nevada Division Board, we would like to extend our thanks for being part of our historical organization, both in-person and virtually. Nevada has officially finished its duty in getting the mochilla across our state. Our pony riders rose to the occasion during record heat and with far fewer than the normal amount of riders needed. Most of our rider pairs rode multiple legs in their section, while many others went on to do multiple legs in multiple sections, day and night., Continue Reading

Hi there, I was capturing some video for a separately commissioned project while the Pony was going through Nevada.
