The Pony Express was a legendary company, founded in 1860, which would deliver mail from the Atlantic to the Pacific in 10 days. During its eighteen months of business, this company made such waves as a business disruptor that it is a well recognized business brand to this day. The Pony Express did the impossible and proved nay-sayers wrong. Advertisements looking for staff proclaimed the need for strong and wiry horseman who were not afraid to face death, with the final admonishing statement “Orphans Preferred!”
Strength – Stamina – Courage – Horsemanship – Problem Solving – Training – Partnership
All required in equal parts for the horse and rider team that would actually be able to complete the race. Succes in The Pony Express Race is not just for the winners… simply to cross the finish line is a feat of its own!
