I Am That Cowgirl!

Becoming a cowgirl is a respectful title which is earned in life. I used to think it was somewhat easy. You had horses as a child, grew up, raised a family, got a horse again, dressed up in style, talked the talk, began to walk the walk.....but the "True Cowgirlism" is walking the walk in the real world.

Being among real cowboys/cowgirls you get a sense of it. You can feel the "fire in their walk, their mannerisms" and the authenticity of standing proud for what they believe in. Becoming a Cowgirl is a title and a commitment I have come to take very seriously. It is about the spirit, drive and passion a person has inside of them. It is about making a hand, no matter how tired you are or how long the day is. It is about honor, giving your word, doing your part to make this world a better place. If you were raised on a ranch, then you know what it takes to be a Cowgirl! I admire and respect you! There are those of us who were not born into a ranching family, but have the desire, dedication and "the sand" to pursue our dreams....I am that Cowgirl!

It doesn't matter what age or challenges that come because I am that Cowgirl!

I am that woman who desires to be a better horsewoman!
I am that woman who will do my best to be there for you!
I am that woman who will learn to rope, drag, brand and doctor calves!
I am that woman who will study hard, ask questions, but be respectfully silent when needed.
I will make a hand in the kitchen and be there beside you in the barn!
I will maintain my sense of feminity, being tough as leather but soft as silk.
I will work for the title for the rest of my life, and wear it with pride.
I will ride for the brand for my heart is true.
My heart and soul acknowledges the true Women of this Spirit because I am that Cowgirl!
