Hashknife Pony Express “Official Centennial Event”

Neither rain, sleet, nor dark of night can stop the Hashknife Pony Express. Each year for the last 53 years, the old west is brought to life as an elite group of riders thunder through Arizona. This exciting event is the oldest officially sanctioned Pony Express in the world. Each rider is sworn in as an honorary mail messenger braving weather, terrain, and modern-day obstacles to deliver the United States mail. Watch us Ride into Scottsdale AZ February 10, 2012.

Beginning in historic Holbrook, the horseback mail route covers over 200 miles from the majestic Mogollon Rim through the wilderness of the Mazatzal range to the desert city of Scottsdale where it kicks off the Parada del Sol celebration.
