If i had been riding on a horse for 12 hours a day the first thing I would want to sit down and eat would be a HUGE plate of my grandma's special homemade spaghetti and meatballs with sausage and pork in it. The first thing i would want to drink would be a big, huge 42oz. cup of Dr. Pepper from QuikTrip. Thia is what i would want to eat and drink if i had been riding a horse for 12 hours.

Riding a horse for 12 hours all day, i would probably want to eat a big bowl of fresh fruit. I, for some reason, am always craving fruit and would love to have some ready for me when i got home. The first thing i would drink is defiantly a tall glass of ice water. Working so hard all day would pay off if i had these two things ready for me when i get home.

If I had been riding a horse for 12 hours a day, the first thing I would want to eat AND drink would be a root beer float. I LOVE root beer as well we vanilla ice cream. That very combination at each day's final destination would make my job worth doing.

If I had been riding a horse for 12 hours I would want to eat any type of meat and I would want to drink a lot of water because you have got to be ready to do the same thing tomorrow.

Brenner C said...

If i was riding a horse for 12 hours, the first thing i would want would be a McDonalds Quarter Pounder with fries and to drink a COKE.

If I had been riding a horse for 12 hours, I would probably want to eat 3 slices of pizza and I would want to drink a lot of water to get ready for the next 12 hour long ride.

After riding a horse for 12 hours, I would most likely be craving an ice cold glass of rasberry lemonade and and some veggie and beef/chicken kabobs.

If i had been riding on a horse for 12 hours the first thing i would want to drink is a huge bottle of blue G2. It is my favorite drink and i would find it very refreshing. I would probably want some Cesar salad to eat, because that is also my favorite. If I had to go riding the next day though, I would probably try to drink lots water and eat fruit so I wouldn't have to worry about getting sick.

If I had been riding a horse for 12hours all day, I would want to sit down and have a fresh bowl of macaroni-and-cheese ready for me, as well as a big glass of ice water to get my throat quenched and wet! These are one of the first things I would eat and drink after I get home for riding 12 hours all day on a horse.

If I had been riding a horse for 12 hours the first thing i would want to eat is a bacon wrapped steak. I love steak and when you add bacon the world is a better place. The first thing I would want to drink is a hot cup of British Breakfast tea loaded with sugar. I love tea but it needs sugar to make it sweet. Also I would want loads of water to help me get ready for the next day.

Sean W. said...

If I just finished riding a horse for days 12 hours a day, and i could sit down with my friends, where do I begin. I would buy everyone there drinks, while I would drink a whole gallon of root beer. I would have pizza, steak, fried chicken, fries, cake, anything someone suggested that sounded good. Then I would definitely sleep well over 12 hours.

If I had been riding a horse for 12 hours, the first thing I would want would be a pain killer. I imagine I would be in a great deal of pain from the hard riding. Then I would want as much rice as I could get from Chipolte with their sour cream and cheese. I would then down this with as big of a P-nut Butter Blast smoothie as I could get from Roxberry. This would be the perfect pick me up from riding so hard for so long.

Danielle A.5 said...

A 12 hour day riding a horse?! That is crazy talk you crazy people! After my grueling day braving it out with my horse(s) I would rather enjoy consuming and drinking these things. Bread and water. Actually, no I'm kidding; I would want to drink a HUGE glass of chocolate milk for caffine purposes, and I would want to eat...hmmmm...I would eat bacon. Lots and lots of bacon. Because well I'm an addict and after being deprived for 12 hours from my bacon fix, I would long for the crunchy, salty, and awesome taste of bacon. All for my own sick pleasure.

Evan S. said...

If I had been riding on a horse for 12 hours I would want to eat everything the kitchen has to offer. Preferably a burger with bbq sauce, pulled pork, bacon, provolone & swiss cheeses and the works. I would most likely be pretty dehydrated so water would be what I would drink.

Cole G. said...

If I had just gotten to the final station I would probably run inside(or wherever the food is) and make them give me tons of peperoni pizza. Then I would drink like 2 gallons of water and then get some Sprite or Pepsi after I wasn't thirsty anymore. Then I would go to bed and probably wouldn't wake up for like 18 hours.

The first thing that I would want to eat after a 12 hour ride for the Pony Express would be steak, shrimp, and a tall glass of water! I would only eat a regular size meal because I wouldn’t want to upset my stomach for the next rides coming up.

Jack S. said...

After riding a horse for 12 hours what I would like to eat is Chick-Fil-A chicken strips with ranch and a large Pepsi because I love Chick-Fil-A and Pepsi. The chicken has protein and the Pepsi has caffine to get reagy for the next ride.

Rylee H. said...

If I were to be riding a horse for 12 hours on the Pony Express the first thing I would ask for is my grandma's homemade strawberry banana smoothie with a Caesar salad. Not only is the meal I chose healthy, but also relaxing and would get you ready for your next ride whenever it comes.

Vanessa M. said...

If i were riding a horse for 12 hours, the first thing i would eat and drink is some nice fresh cold lemonade, and my moms pot roast! then after that, id ask for 4 oreos, but i dont think they had oreos back then so i would ask for a chocolate cake or some kind of wonderful warm chocolate desert!

Unknown said...

If I got home after 12 hours straight of riding, the first thing I would get would simply be some water. The thing that i would eat would probably be a nice, big, juicy, steak.

After 12 hours all day riding, the first thing I would want is a combo of Chinese food and Seafood. I would be SOOOO happy. I would also like a pop for the drink. Then a chocolate cake for desert.

Veronica M. said...

If I had been riding on a horse for 12 hours, the first thing i would want to eat is some steak or some chicken! Also with some mash potatoes and some corn on the cob with a nice big glass of fresh lemonade! And for dessert, I would want some cookies because that's what I gave up for lent!

Kayla G. said...

If I had been riding a horse for 12 hours, the first thing I would want to eat and drink is some meat and water. I would want the meat for strength and I would want the water since I would have been almost dehydrated. I would also want some strawberries because I always get in a good mood when I eat them; they are my favorite. In conclusion the first thing I would eat and drink after riding on the Pony Express is meat and water with some strawberries.

If I had been riding a horse for 12 hours a day the first thing I would want to eat is a GIANT plate of my dad's serloin steak wrapped in bacon with mashed potatoes and corn on the cob with fresh cold lemonade to drink! For desert, I would BEG for a homemade ice cream sundae, just like how my grandma makes it!

Elisha H. said...

Hailey S. said...

If i had been riding on a horse for 12 hours a day the first thing I would want to eat would be a "In n Out" double cheese burger with their animal fries. The first thing i would want to drink would be their deliocious choclate milkhake. No matter how i feel or where i've been, I always have room for "In N Out" (:

Seth H. said...

After riding on a horse for 12 hours in a row, the first think I would want to eat would be an 8 oz. steak covered in bacon bits. This would not only be very filling, but loaded with protien. The first thing I would want to drink, however, would be water, because it would hydrate you very fast.

Luke T. said...

Well what i would like to drink is a glass of milk, and what i would have to eat is a steak with rice and mash potatoes. That is what i would eat and drink if I was on the road for 12 hours.

Frank B said...

If I had been riding a horse for 12 hours on the Pony Express the first thing I would want to eat is Fried Chicken because it fills your stomach and makes you feel good after you eat it. What I would want to drink is a large cup of Kool aid to wash down the fried chicken.

Delaney M. said...

If I had been riding a horse for 12 hours on the Pony Express, I would eat a salad with chicken on it, because it is healthy, and I would drink a tall glass of water because it would be refreshing.

Ethan P. said...

Well I most certainly am not going to eat fast food or pizza or anything like that… I’m pretty sure that those food items were not very available to anyone in that time period… But when I begin a long journey on a mail delivery mission, then every stalk of wheat I ride past will tremble in fear and awe! If I were to pick a form of sustenance that a Pony Express rider could easily acquire, then (assuming I had already drunk my fill of cold water) I would probably indulge the rampant carbivore that is me, and devour a mountain of all things buttery and bread-like. The town baker would suddenly find himself a very rich man with a very empty store.

ian C. said...

If I had been riding on a horse for 12 hours.I would have a 64oz. QickTrip mountain dew soda and two 12' pizzas form next door pizza. If that didn't fill me up I would then have some of my dad's special ribs.

hannah o said...

if i was riding a horse all day the first thing i would eat would be lots of bread because i love bread.then i would probly eat some chili. the first thing i would drink is a huge gallon of milk.

Mariel C. said...

If I had been riding through the mountains for the Pony Express for 12 hours I would defiantly be starving, but he first thing I would want would be a big, warm bowl of Mac n Cheese because it is my favorite thing to eat. I’d also love to see a gigantic cup of Coke which I’d practically inhale. Being on a horse for a long time can take a lot of energy out of a person, and that’s why I would want a large serving of one of my favorite meals waiting or me at my final stop.

Ashley R. said...

If I had been riding a horse for 12 hours on the Pony Express, the first thing I would want to eat would be a giant burger from Back Yard Burger, french fries, a chocolate milkshake, and lots of water.

Erin B. said...

If i had been riding a horse for 12 hours the first thing I would want to eat would be some chicken strips. You can never go wrong with chicken strips. I would drink water because water is very hydrating.

If I had been riding for 12 hours I would definitely want a couple gallons of water and several pounds of pulled pork and stuff like that because all of that is very good.

Quinn W said...

If I had been riding a horse for 12 hours, the first thing that I would want to eat is a big huge steak for a lot of protein. The first thing i would want to drink is a big tall glass of ice cold water to re-energize my self.

Noah L. said...

If i had been riding a horse for 12 hours, the first thing i would want to eat is my Mothers Tater-Tot Casserole. I would go for several helpings! Also the first thing i would want to drink is a HUGE cup of coffee with cream and sugar to wake me back up.

Hayley Y. said...

If I were riding a horse for 12 hours a day I would eat a few things. First, I would want some pizza from Papa Murphys. Cheese pizza topped with olives, mushrooms and pepperoni. Yum! I would also like 5 strawberries to go along with my pizza. Finally, I would add a small dessert such as a cupcake and a shirley temple to drink. That's what I would eat if I were riding a horse on the Pony Express for 12 hours a day.

ZacH L said...

If i had been riding a horse for 12 hours the first thing i world have done is drink a big glass of water then eat a big bowl of fresh fruit then I would go go bead

Ashlyn O. said...

If I had been riding the pony express for 12 hours straight without any food I would be famished. The first food choice that would come to my mind would be a pretty good sized steak cooked medium well. I say this because steak fills you up big time! I would also want a 32 oz rootbeer with a glass of water on the side. I can not even imagine the suffer you have to go through on that long trail without food or water. I feel sorry for those fella's.

Brayden P. said...

I honestly wouldn't really care at that point because I love food so much but if I had to choose, I would have some of my mom's homemade cheesy potatoes, a big plate of green beans, and a really big glass of Brisk iced tea. That's my dream meal!! If you only gave me like 10$ I'd go to Quiktrip and grab a Khaos Monster and 2 Quiktrip hot dogs though haha.

Molly M said...

After riding a horse for 12 hours i would want to eat a big plate of Fettucine and a big Coke and water. after that a warm choclate brownie.

dallas V. said...

if i were riding for 12 hours a day on a horse i would want to sit in a comfortable chair and eat a buffet of food. The drink i would want is a 32 oz. soda from quiktrip.

Jacob G said...

If I had ridden on a horse for 12 hours non-stop, I would want to eat my mom's potato soup. Not only does it taste like the greatest thing in the world, but it fills you up fast! I'd also drink about 5 cups of water.
