Kuang Hsu Year "Hoof" cover from Sair-Ussu to the Urgan Amban, featuring drawings of hooves. Sair-Ussu was the junction of the Yizhan network in Mongolia.

Despite its past importance, existing exammples are extremely scarce with only one warrant and two covers (including this one) are known.光緒年間蒙古“馬上飛遞封”，由賽爾烏蘇寄庫倫大臣，鈐紅色官印。賽爾烏蘇於清代蒙古台站網絡中佔中心位置，隨後才因庫倫在為台站中心而衰落。雖然地位重要，但存世郵例極罕，目前已知僅有一件火票及兩件驛站封（包括這件）。

1913 "Hoof" cover from the Assistant Clerk of stamp of Beis Sandagdorj to the clerk of basic treasury of General Beil. The corners featuring drawings of hooves. Hoof cover got its name from the drwaing of hooves at the four corners which denotes express delivery by horse. Hoof cover has a higher level of emergency than ordinary mails but lower than Bird Covers. However, the rarity is equally impeccable.1913年蒙古“馬上飛遞封”。“馬上飛遞封”因四角畫有馬蹄而得名，以表明為需以馬匹送遞之急件。其緊急程度高於一般郵件，但低於“飛鳥封”。但稀罕程度與“飛鳥封”相比不遑多讓。
