Hanging with buddies + big award news

If that doesn’t say *peace* to you, I’m not sure what possibly could. πŸ™‚

**********

In some good news that we all can use right now, our friend and fellow mustang advocate Kathryn Wilder just won a HUGE award for her essay “After Birth,” which appeared in the April 2024 edition of The Missouri Review. (It requires a subscription to read in full.)

“… the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum announced the 2025 Western Heritage Awards honorees for creative achievements. Among the literature honorees, my name appearsβ€”I won the Western Heritage Award for Magazine Article!”

Head over to Kat’s blog – Kat Wilder Writer – to learn more about this prestigious award (there’s a link to the announcement), which she will accept in April in Oklahoma City.

And while there, peruse her blog for more details about her writing, her memoir – Desert Chrome: Water, a Woman, and Wild Horses in the West – and her upcoming book (I’m eagerly awaiting its publish date this fall), The Last Cows: On Ranching, Wonder, and a Woman’s Heart.

Huge congratulations, Kat! It’s a richly deserved honor!
