Will Grant was born and raised in Colorado. After college, he worked as a cowboy and a horse trainer in Colorado, Wyoming, and Texas, where he apprenticed under the legendary horseman Jack Brainard. In 2008, he pivoted to a career in journalism and his writing has appeared in Outside magazine, Bloomberg Businessweek, the Wall Street Journal, as well as regional publications throughout the West. His efforts to combine horses and storytelling have included a 600-mile horse race across Mongolia, an expedition to find gold in Arizona, and two trips to Kyrgyzstan to play the most dangerous horseback game on the planet, called kok boru. The Last Ride of the Pony Express is his first book, and it shares the story of what he saw, who he met, and what happened on his 2,000 mile journey along the famed Pony Express mail service. Will currently lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico, with his partner, Claire Antoszewski, and two dogs, three chickens, and five horses.
