The Pony Express was a service that used horses and riders to carry letters and packages over great distances in the United States during the mid-19th century. Established in 1860, it significantly improved communication between the East and West coasts, covering about 1,900 miles in approximately ten days. The service was eventually rendered obsolete by the completion of the transcontinental telegraph in 1861.
Some horses may not be chosen by a rider because of : slowness, color, or size and ability. However, it may be because of how many horses and riders there are. For instance say there are 10 riders and 14 horses. 4 horses are left behind, probably the the runts of the horses, you know like I described above.
