Cowgirls are as much icons of the West as cowboys and horses. Cowgirls have been around for centuries. Did you realize that cowgirls were some of the first female athletes in America? Born of the trailblazing spirit that sparked generations of women before them, they were the women who could ride a horse as well as any man (sidesaddle or not), shoot straight, rope a steer and still manage to be feminine to the core. That same spirit is still alive today in women who can saddle their own horses, hitch up their own trailers, raise their kids, and succeed in a career.

But, you don't have to own a horse or live in the west to have the cowgirl spirit. A cowgirl attitude is a way of life. Cowgirls are independent and self-sufficient. They believe in old-fashioned values and command respect. They have a uniqueness and style that is all their own.

The clothes that a cowgirl wears speak clearly to the world who she is. Cowgirl style can be denim and western shirts and strictly functional. Clothes that are comfortable, durable, and suited to get the job done. Cowgirl style can also be fancy - designer jeans, rhinestone studded belts , fancy tooled leather boots and hats in all colors and styles. Clothes that show toughness with a definite feminine spirit.

No matter what the current western fashion style is, the cowgirl spirit will prevail. Whether she's riding and roping, competing in a rodeo event, or climbing the corporate ladder, a cowgirl imbues everything she does with grace, confidence, and always – her unique style.
