Twin sisters Miki and Julie Collins grew up in the vast Interior Alaska wilderness north of Denali National Park and together lived a traditional bush lifestyle, trapping, hunting, fishing, and gardening. Their closest companions were a team of loyal sled dogs, until they heard about Icelandic horses. Miki and Julie tell how these sturdy northern horses, which eat fish and wild grasses, became part of their family's Alaska homestead, bringing both new problems and new pleasures. Together with their horses and huskies, you'll join the Collins sisters as they deliver a new breed of authentic Alaska adventures.

"In their entertaining, yet incredibly modest matter-of-fact style, the two sisters take turns writing chapters...every bit of their day is consumed in creative competence at which most "civilized" readers can only marvel. A great read for animal lovers!"
    --Rebekah Witter, author of "Living with Horsepower"

"The first chapter grabs the readers and takes them them [on] to the rest of the wild ride"
