Yeah, we don't do interviews but for this bonus episode of Adulting with Horses we had to make an exception. Will Grant, Mongol Derby Rider and Long Rider who just published his book, The Last Ride of the Pony Express: My 2,000 Mile Horseback Journey Into the Old West talks with us about his adventures, what goes into riding the Pony Express trail, and why it's important to ride outside your comfort zone.

Will Grant currently lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he’s a writer for Outside magazine. His work has also appeared in Bloomberg Businessweekand he was previously the Action Sports editor at VICE. Since graduating college, he has broken in horses at a Colorado ranch, apprenticed under legendary horse trainer Jack Brainard, cowboyed in Texas, raced the Mongol Derby, a nearly 900 mile horse race in Mongolia, and ridden horses on every continent but Antarctica
