Celebrating the bond between humans and horses.

First Day of Issue DateL June 17, 2024
First Day of Issue Location: St. Joseph, MO

In the 1944 movie National Velvet, then-12-year-old Elizabeth Taylor played the character Velvet Brown, who won a horse in a raffle and went on to fulfill racing dreams. Classic books such as My Friend Flicka and Misty of Chincoteague — as well as multitudes of more recent ones — also portray the incredible bond between humans and the horses they love.

Not all horses go on to win races and bring fame to their owners. Many live their entire lives simply as beloved companions. And that’s what art director Derry Noyes wanted to capture in the new release of the Horses Forever® stamps.

Giddy up! The Pony Express Re-ride is about to start in THREE Days!

How can I see the Pony Express Re-ride in person?

As the riders make their way from St. Joseph, Missouri to Sacramento, California, there are scheduled exchanges where the riders will hand off the mochila and a new rider will continue the delivery. The ride takes place 24 hours a day so some of these happen in the middle of the night!

Though the schedule is subject to change, here are the some of the places that you can watch an exchange or see the riders ride by (during daylight hours!): go.nps.gov/ReRideSchedule

(Note: the event takes place 24 hours a day and there are countless places to see the riders. These locations were selected based on the time of day and enrichment opportunities for the public. For a list of complete locations: nationalponyexpress.org)

Supposed to heat up today in KS! Be safe out there for you & your equines!

Hauling, and still not quite comfortable with knowing what you need to be prepared?
Here's a great list from our friend, Robert Eversole TrailMeister

Note to self- It’s a very good thing to carry emergency essentials in your truck. But… be sure to check the batteries if they’re part of the gear! 3 of my 6 hazard flashers had dead batteries when I really needed them. What’s an oversite that you’ve made when hauling horses? BTW- here’s the list of stuff that I carry “just in case”. https://www.trailmeister.com/35-essentials-to-keep-in-your-truck/
