    A cowgirl is someone that puts their mind to do anything and work hard for it. They are not afraid to get dirty and then clean up of a night on the town. Not afraid of anything or working hard for what they want. She’s even beautiful with or with out a hat. She has a heart of gold. No matter what happens she still enjoys herself. In everything she does. She never gives up and works hard in everything she does.She has no fear and faces a challenge with no fear everyday in life.

    A cowgirl’s favorite place in the whole world is on top of a horse. Cows smell like money but horses smell like heaven to her!

    I don’t think you have to “Love” Horses to be a cowgirl. I think being a cowgirl is all about rolling up your sleeves, digging in and helping out when needed or even when not needed. Its about country, home, heart and family!

    A cowgirl puts her animals needs ahead of her own. She dresses in a way that represents the western lifestyle, such as boots and jeans. She can handle a pickup and trailer.

    It’s a state of mind, the adventurous kind, a free spirit, living to the limit, giving her best, living the best, rough, tough soft enough, daring, caring sometimes swearing, sometimes sassy, always classy, bright, polite, just might if its right, a natural flirt, with just a little dirt.

    A cowgirl is tender and tough, can ride a mustang or look good in one. She can make her cowboy soar like an eagle, and love him like an angle on earth. Cowgirls look good in boots or heels, jeans or skirts. And most of all a cowgirl makes any man wish they were her cowboy!

    A true cowgirl is one that lives and dreams horses for the rest of her days. She may be a bit of a spitfire but she never gives up. She works hard all her days, lives her dreams, & is always ready for that next big adventure. A true free spirit, that rides like the wind soars through the seas and breathes the soul of horses.

    A cowgirl is a free spirit, not constrained by the norms of society, but instead choosing to be connected to the earth. A cowgirl is confident in her individualism, she shares her life as she feels compelled to, not out of a desire to meet the demands of others. Oh, and she knows how to dress, too!

    A cowgirl lives by the code of the cowboy, embraces her womanhood, faces the world head on and life like a foal that just saw the gate open, with joy, wonderment, and full speed ahead!

    A cowgirl is somebody who can do anything they put their mind to. Not only can they do the work of a cowboy, they can do it faster and with prettier outcomes. It doesn’t matter if you wear a hat and boots,or if your own 5 cows or 500… that’s not what its all about. We live fast paced lives and love like crazy. & yes, we love the glamour of the city but we would never give up what we have. You can keep your bright lights, I’ll take my glowing fireflies on a hot summer night in a heartbeat. — In a nutshell, cowgirl is a state of mind. Many try to claim to be, but few truly are.

    “Cowgirl is attitude”, as Dale Evans says. I agree but also includes Courage, commitment (never give up), passion and dedication. All these define a special attitude, a mental firmness, a quality and strength that is “spirit”, that is cowgirl. Within a cowgirl lies a promise, to find that spirit and live with passion, whether you are behind a cash register at a local store or working cattle and training horses on the farm.

    “A TRUE cowgirl faces life head on, lives by her own lights, and makes no excuses. Cowgirls take stands. They speak up. They defend the things they hold dear.”
    well said by Dale Evans Rogers

    A cowgirl is someone that is true through and through. She works hard and loves harder. She takes nothing but gives everything. She there when she is needed (often without being asked) and she loves all as much as her own. Treats everything with respect and gets back up when she falls.

    Simple… You don’t have to wear a hat, plaid, or boots. A real cowgirl stands out from the crowd and you can pick her out in an instant. She gives out a different vibe from the rest of the girls. She isn’t afraid to get down and dirty but she does it with the class of a lady.
