Like cowboys, being a cowgirl is a way of life. As a personality trait, a cowgirl is said to be very polite, assertive when needed, confident, industrious and ready to take on any task and challenge. Through the years, cowgirl, Southern girls and Hollywood alike have passed down some memorable quotes about being a cowgirl. 

As a cowgirl in training, one can take this elder’s advice to her cowgirl southern belle painted in a rodeo bar in Oklahoma, “you are a cowgirl so be respectful, even to hateful people, because your momma raised you better.”

Reflecting from her emotional connection to horses at a young age, Toni Robinson, a self-claimed cowgirl wrote, “horses change lives, they give young people confidence and self-esteem. They provide peace and tranquility to troubled souls and they give hope. 

This one is also a stellar cowgirl reflection from the book Show Pen Promise written by Carly Kade, “life is a series of adjustments. I learned that from all the years I spent bronc riding, the bronc goes left, I had to shift right and then make counter mover after counter move. It is the same sort of shuffle and shifts with life.”

And with the uniqueness of cowgirls and the lesson they live by while following the herd, it is but fitting to end this with this Dale Carnegie quote, “a flaming enthusiasm, backed up by a horse’s sense of persistence, is the quality that most frequently makes for success.”

Having retired after teaching Field Biology for many years, I have a wide range of topics to write on. My interests are photographing animals and plants, vacationing with my family, enjoying my grandchildren, dancing, hiking, canoeing and kayaking, gardening, winter activities, leading nature walks, writing notes on nature, and home improvements (we are renovating our retirement home). With all that I am doing now, you may wonder how I ever found the time to work - of course, most of the other things were put on hold all those years.
