The Highway 50 Wagon Train follows the Pony Express route from Pollock Pines to Placerville!🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎 Pony Express horses were ridden at a fast trot or gallop, averaging 10 miles per hour over the entire route, though individual horses could reach speeds between 10 and 25 mph. To maintain this speed, horses were changed every 10 to 15 miles at relay stations, while riders were changed every 75 to 100 miles. We roll at a mind bending 3mph…😂🐴🤪 #highway50wagontrain #slowandsteadywinstherace #la
