Pony Express stations were placed 10 to 15 miles apart. The riders rode them at. full gallop which was up to 15 miles. per hour (depending on the horse and terrain- I guess). If a conestoga wagon made. 15 miles in a day they made good time. I imagine a cattle drive only made about 15. miles in a day too.
