Have your letter cross the country in a mochilla as part of the annual re-ride of the Pony Express June 15-25, 2026.

Your letter will be carried on horseback by over 700 riders along the original 1,966-mile Pony Express Trail in just 10 days. The 2026 Re-Ride leaves from St. Joseph, Missouri, and ends in Old Sacramento, California.  Nebraska will be the highlighted state on the 250th Anniversary of the United States in this year’s Commemorative Letter. Last year was Nevada.

Pony Express Commemorative Letters highlight historical events, sites, and people of the Pony Express.   Each envelope is hand-stamped with a special US Post Office cancellation.  At $5.00, the same price as in 1860, they are the Official Souvenir of the Annual Pony Express Re-Ride. Personal letters are also available for $10.00
