While the Pony Express was short-lived, it lives on in the plot of many Western novels and movies. Do you have any Pony Express riders in your collection?

Nope

Boys as young as 14 rode for the Pony Express, though most riders were adult men.

No.

No. Although Dixon makes figures, I never bothered to get any when I was doing Western figure collecting. It only lasted one year, just before the Civil War. I figured they would have limited use.

No, I do not. Could make a good western scenario, couldn't it.

Nope … But some Orks mounted on Boars …

No. But I've used regular Old West horsemen with saddlebags as Pony Express in a scenario.

I have one somewhere in the "characters" part of my 15mm Pony Wars collection
