Western children's books
Rusty's Reading Remuda

Violet Mary Diane Marx

We write and illustrate children's books here at Rusty's Reading Remuda, and we've lost one of our own.
Roslan's daughter and Mary's granddaughter, Warrior Princess Violet, lived 7 short days, and changed our lives.
You can read Violet's story in these blog posts:

The latest from Rusty's Remuda!
The Rusty's Remuda Children's Book Series features Rusty the Ranch Horse, Thunder the Smallest War Horse, Delgado the Donkey, and Gunner the All-Around Horse.
It's great for kids age 4-10. However, we HIGHLY recommend reading to babies!
The book series was created way out West by mother-daughter team Mary Fichtner and Roslan Fichtner.
Each tale teaches life lessons we have learned from the many horses we love... Rusty's Remuda. There are many more tales to come as we never stop learning!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Courage the Cowgirl Way
A strong cowgirl isn't perfect but chooses courage, the cowgirl way, most often.
Check out the book in the General Store.

I love “The Heart of a Cowgirl” so much and how much it depicts the Western and Cowgirl way of life. I can’t wait to keep it in the family for generations to come and learn about the heart of a Cowgirl. Attached are pictures of me and my niece Maddie reading the book! A big thank you again!
