On Wednesday, June 11 the thunder of hooves and the spirit of the old west return to Old Town Sacramento as the 2025 Pony Express Annual Re-Ride sets off on its 1,966-mile journey to St. Joseph, Mo. Organized by the National Pony Express Association, the Re-Ride is a 10-day, 24-hour-a-day horseback relay reenacting the legendary mail route that helped shape the American frontier. Riding with an authentic leather mochila, a leather pouch used to hold the mail, volunteers carry approx 1200 commemorative letters along the original 1860 Pony Express Trail.
