HAPPY NATIONAL DAY OF THE COWGIRL
Today is about cowgirls. Both cowboys and girls make an impact on the western lifestyle but this post is what the western lifestyle is to me. (PSA this is sort of a soppy post)
The western lifestyle to me is more than wearing boots, riding horses, and winning a shinny new buckle. The western lifestyle is just that a lifestyle in and out of the arena you are a leader. A Teammate. Family. Hero. Idol. Teacher. Trainer. Coach. Friend. Mentor. Trailblazer. It is so much more, not only to the upcoming generations, but to old generations as well. Being part of the western lifestyle means helping your neighbors. Herding cattle, doctoring cattle, horses, goats and even donkeys! People recognize you out of the arena and they look up to you. Along with being a rodeo queen in my career I am a trainer and a coach. There are so many people out there who don’t know how to ride a horse let alone take care of one. I love to teach people and that’s why I offer lessons and train horses. I love seeing the progress that people make. During my rodeo queen journey my favorite part was watching cowgirls and cowboys make a difference! There will be times that make you want to give up, I mean I broke my pelvis and couldn’t ride for months. People thought I’d never get back on. (Okay no one doubted that I would be back on as soon as I could, but they hoped!) and admittedly enough I do still have personal problems when riding due to that. But it won’t stop me and nothing should stop anyone from pursuing your dreams of ranching, riding, or just owning a horse. Be cowgirl tough and swing your leg over one more time.
Happy National day of the cowgirl to not only all the cowgirls out there but to the aspiring cowgirls and to the new riders who just took their first lesson and fell in love.
