We cannot thank our cowgirls enough for yesterday! It was a great day full of fun, support, trying new things, and building new relationships.

Yesterday I stood back for a moment to admire everything. Our members, riders, spectators, event help, facility, the wonderful prizes from our sponsors and I just got my breath taken away. There was so much support and I can’t thank each one of you enough. Not just from our cowgirl challenge, but from our family in ranch rodeos, sortings, and pennings. It would not be possible without all of YOU.
So again, thank you! 🥰🥹
-Kenzie

Also another massive shout out to all of our sponsors for the prizes and added money!
