Pony Express: Living the Ride chronicles the intrepid contemporary horseback riders re-enacting the legendary Pony Express, as they gallop night and day over Nevada's largely unchanged trail, moving the mail pouch between Sacramento, California and St. Joseph, Missouri. Shot on location in the outback of Nevada, commentary from a descendant of an early Paiute leader provides historical context, and local archaeologists share artifacts excavated from original Pony Express stations still dotting the landscape.
