OGDEN -- The Horse and Hitch parade and all other events associated with the Ogden Pioneer Days rodeo next month will go on as planned and will even be enhanced, organizers say.

Nothing will be limited by an equine herpes virus type 1 scare that caused those in the horse industry to cancel events this spring, they say.

RENO, Nev. -- Neither rain, nor sleet, nor dark of night could keep Pony Express riders from their appointed rounds, so the story goes. But a deadly horse virus is another matter.

For the first time in its 32-year history, the National Pony Express Association is postponing its annual re-enactment of the famous ride from St. Joseph, Mo., to Sacramento this summer due to an outbreak of the equine herpes virus EHV-1.

The 10-day ride is being pushed from June to August.
