The echoes of the Old West came alive in Historic Folsom Wednesday evening as the thunder of hooves and the clatter of horseshoes signaled the arrival of the National Pony Express Association’s Annual Re-Ride.
After a delayed departure from Sacramento earlier in the day, the rider and horse trotted into town just after 7:30 p.m., drawing cheers from a crowd gathered outside the Folsom History Museum. With a swift handoff, the rider delivered the mochila—a faithful replica of the leather mail pouch once carried across the frontier—bringing a piece of American history back to life on Sutter Street.
