Located 14 miles from Willow Springs Station and 12 miles from Sweetwater Pony Express Station on east bank of Horse Creek and just north of the old Emigrant Road. http://www.expeditionutah.com/featured-trails/pony-express-trail/wyoming-pony-express-stations/
Several sources list Horse Creek as a station, including the 1861 Overland Mail Company contract. Gregory Franzwa specifically identifies Horse Creek as a Pony Express station in his Oregon Trail maps. Little more is known about this station site.
