   I think you might need a lot of financial assistance too Vixen.  I'd 
assume that each participant would need to supply his/her own horses - 
and note that is horses, pural.  Remember the Pony Express riders rode 
horses in relays.  I don't remember how many times they changes to a 
fresh horse during the ride (if I ever knew) but I'd guess you'd need 
five or six horses anyway.  And since you'd need a horse for your 
assistant that would be ten or twelve.
   You sure you don't want to consider a bike race instead? <grin>
