Pony Express (LE:350) B1295

Superb Border Fine Arts limited edition of 350  figurine by Keith Sherwin. Height: 23.5cm Length:33.5cm

This sculpture portrays a Pony Expressrider wearing his 'duster' as he rides through bad weather. The young riders were famous for their endurance and surviving hazards like raging rivers, blizzards and Indians. Pony Express horses were grain fed, so they could outstrip the Indian horses that were grass fed. Speed mattered most to the riders and to get that record run. One who achieved this was a young William Cody who later became the famous Buffalo Bill.
