Re-Ride 2016 in Folsom, CA.

Our members are the life blood of the NPEA.

We welcome your support and participation in preserving and expressing this exciting time in our history. There is no longer the need to ‘Risk Death Daily’, but our work is no less important today than in 1860.

Membership Details

Membership is required for riders who would like to participate in the Annual Re-Ride, as well as parades and other equestrian events.  Riders must be experienced equestrians, at least 18 years of age (14 with parental permission and supervision), and be willing to abide by the Pony Express Oath and Rider Requirements. Some states have an Associate Membership for non-riders who would like to support that state and NPEA.  We often need people to help in staffing relay stations during the Re-Ride, public affairs, educational events and other membership duties.  Membership fees vary by each State Division and include National dues.  Memberships are annual, but Life Memberships are available.  Contact your State Division President for details on Life Memberships.

  • Opportunity to participate as a Rider or Wrangler in the Annual Re-Ride
  • Ride Pin
