About the stamp design: Pictures a photograph of a chestnut colored horse against a black background.
First Day City: The First Day of Issue Ceremony was held at the Patee House Museum in St. Joseph, Missouri, before the start of the 164th Pony Express Re-Ride event (a 1,966-mile trek from St. Joseph to Sacramento, California).
About the Horses set: Includes five designs picturing photographs of different horses in profile by Stephanie Moon and Karen Wegehenkel.
History the stamp represents: One of the oldest and most well-known professions involving horses is cattle ranching. The horse breed most commonly used for this line of work is the American Quarter Horse. They are compact, athletic, and quick-footed, all qualities making them ideal for moving cattle. They are also known to be hardworking with calm and friendly dispositions, making them easy to handle even in the most challenging situations.
While technology has advanced to the point where cattle herding can easily and quickly be done by ATV or similar machine, horseback is still a popular method. That is because being moved by horse tends to put less stress on the cattle. Down the line, stress can make their meat tough. A reputation for tough meat can negatively impact a rancher’s profits. Moving cattle with horses has the added benefits of creating less pollution and noise. It also tends to lead to fewer injuries among the herd.
In addition to all of the practical reasons, many ranchers simply choose to work with horses because that’s the way their ancestors did it. Working in the saddle is a reminder of a simpler time. For many of us, it brings back the nostalgia of the Old West. We think of cowboys making their living traveling from ranch to ranch, sharing their stories at saloons along the way.
