New Girl
After searching for the better part of a year, we added a third to our fleet! This is Coulee. She’s double registered as a Kentucky Mountain Horse and a Racking Horse and we like her very much. She was on the other side of Idaho with a good family but not quite the right family for her — they had horses but were not…horsemen…if you know what I mean.
Before that, she was in Kentucky mostly starved to death by the breeders who raised her. We brought her home because she’s extremely fast, smooth, energetic, hardworking, surefooted, tough, and sweet. She has a

Some things I’ve wanted to share with you:
This Meateater podcast episode on the topic of Bristol Bay and why the proposed Pebble Mine can never be allowed.
The Wild Salmon Box offered by the wonderful Salmon Sisters. The discount code
Ane Brun as the leaves turn crimson and twirl to the ground. Her voice is as ancient as the seasons. I love her version of All My Tears.
Short Nights of the Shadow Catcher — for any fans of the incredible work of Ed Curtis.
Hunt For The Wilderpeople — Kiwi movies are always quirky and special. This film has a sad beginning but there are many lighthearted, hilarious moments along the trail.
If you want to read about some great ladies (I’m lucky to call a few of them my friends) check out Katie Marchetti’s Women of the West column on the Modern Huntsman website. By the way, Volume SIX is on the way! I finished edits on the final draft of my story this morning, as a matter of fact. Hang on to your hats!
The West Against Itself — food for thought.

For years I have shipped your orders via priority mail here in the USA and since the US post office seems to be having some serious issues right now I am going to add “signature required” to your packages from now on so that you actually have to personally sign for these shipments. It will cost me more to send your orders out with this service and I will be covering the extra $4 to send these packages to you in this manner.
If you do not have your mail delivered to your front door I realize this will cause you to have to go
