The Highline Herd is riding in the Pony Express.

After nearly a year of planning, Shelby and Skylar are excited to say that 2026 is officially "time go". We’ll be heading out to Nebraska with our trusted partners; Valor (11 year old paint draft cross) and Willy (26 year old quarter horse cross) to take part in this once in a lifetime ride, carrying mail across historic trails just like the original Pony Express riders.

This journey takes a full support team behind the scenes, and that’s where you come in. All donations go directly toward making this ride possible, helping cover travel and fuel, lodging along the route, horse care and supplies, and daily essentials during the trip.

Ride the Pony Express with us—and turn your horse into a collectible card that becomes part of the journey.

Alongside this journey, we’re also building something new with our community down the line; a Highline Herd trading card game inspired by real horses, real trails, and the challenges riders face along the way. Supporters will have the opportunity to be part of this project by turning their own horses into custom cards, with each one featuring unique traits, strengths, and personality. These cards will become part of the very first generation of the Highline Herd trading card game. Your horse helps shape the beginning of it all.
Submit your horse’s information and clear reference photos through our Google Form: https://forms.gle/F3LEXpkU6rCXjj2F9

$25: Receive one custom digital “Foundation Edition” horse trading card.
$50: Receive two custom digital “Foundation Edition” cards plus a printable high-resolution version formatted for at-home printing.
$100: Receive one custom physical “Foundation Edition” card mailed to you, plus the digital version. Your horse will also be featured in a dedicated social media post and included in a “Foundation Herd” showcase during the project.
$250: Become a sponsor for the Highline Herd. You or your business will be featured in every YouTube video and mentioned in podcast episodes during this event. You will also receive a premium “Shiny Edition” version of your custom horse card.
$500+: Become a recognized sponsor for the Highline Herd. Your business will receive expanded promotion across YouTube, podcast episodes, and social media, plus a premium “Shiny Edition” card and a limited “Sponsor Series” version of your horse card reserved for top supporters.

Our goal is to create something that lasts beyond the ride. A way to bring this experience, these horses, and this community together in a fun and meaningful way. Every bit of support helps us get one step closer to the trail, and helps us build something lasting alongside it. We’ll be documenting the entire experience from start to finish so you can follow along every step of the way.

Thank you for being part of this journey. 🤍

The Highline Herd is going to the 2026 Pony Express!
