Yes, didn't do my emu research before I wrote that comment....
Ostriches in a specialised ostrich messenger service sounds fantastic! It could be the budget service, as opposed to expensive horses. I'm a little bit of a horse person, but I can't add anything useful to what ememyfrigate said - very good advice.
PS - some of the nomadic tribes in northern mongolia do ride reindeer (the ones farther south use ponies, or camels). They herd the others using them.
