On my way to the Horsetooth Reservoir at Fort Collins, Colorado, I stumbled into an antique shop with an intent to get a souvenir. I was looking around the shop and came face-to-face with this horseback rider.

The picture speaks for itself! Upon inquiry, I came to know that this Pony Express was indeed an express mail service between 1860 and 1861. Though it was in vogue only for a short time, it became the forerunner of express delivery mail technologies, and the logo is still in use by the United States Postal Service.
