Medicine Hat Cowboy Poetry Foundation
Preserving and celebrating cowboy life in the Medicine Hat area.
The June 2021 MHCowboyLife newsletter features the town of Dunmore, just outside Medicine Hat.
Dunmore is the site of a famous train wreck that occurred in 1908. Find out why it’s famous.
The horse of the month is the Clydesdale. Dunmore was the first community in Western Canada, before Alberta was a province, to have Clydesdale horses.

It’s snowing. We always act so surprised when it snows in May but this is typical Springtime in Alberta weather. Ian Tyson’s song, Springtime in Alberta nails it!:
“Then without a warning, another winter storm comes ragin’ through….Springtime in Alberta, chills me to the bone.”
Our Stories from Seniors series continues with the Medicine Hat Cowboy Poetry Foundation’s treasurer, Carol Eisenbarth’s story about her family’s barn. https://wordpress.com/page/mhcowboylife.com/261

SAVE THE DATE:
We are planning our 2021 Medicine Hat Cowboy Poetry and Western Music show. It is scheduled for September 11 and will be at Kin Coulee Park again this year. We’re hoping that having it two weeks earlier, it will be a bit warmer than last year. More details to come.
Our newsletter, MHCowboy Life is being assembled. Watch for it in early June. Our ‘Round Medicine Hat feature is Dunmore and our featured horse is the Clydesdale.
