Liz Hughey at Art of the Cowgirl

Liz Hughey did mule packing and horse guiding in Colorado in her 20s. In 2017 she brought her love for the world of packing to youngsters when she launched her first book, and she continued with the Children’s Mule Packing Series. She writes regularly for the Western Mule magazine and writes about her family’s Indiana Red Angus cattle farm in Rural Heritage Magazine. She calls herself the cowgirl poet and is now an award-winning author. We are so excited to visit with Liz about her journey as an author and bring that to you today!
