🌞 One Week Left – Ride Free 🐎

There’s still time to participate in the June Sisterhood Series Challenge: Ride Free!

✨ A moment when you felt free in the saddle
✨ A ride that brought you peace
✨ A trail, arena, or adventure that filled your soul
✨ A breakthrough with your horse
✨ A reminder of why you love this lifestyle

Your story doesn't have to be big to be meaningful. Sometimes freedom is found in the simplest moments. 🤍

To participate, register for the June Sisterhood Series Challenge in the Wild Apricot app, then post at least one photo and your story in the 40 Something Cowgirls Facebook Group. Don't forget to include your state or tag your local chapter.

We’re talking about why local chapters matter in this HQ Heart Check. 💗

Because 40 Something Cowgirls was never meant to be just a name on a membership card.

Chapters are where the magic happens. They are where women find friendship, encouragement, laughter, support, and a place to show up exactly as they are.

Whether it is coffee, trail rides, lunch dates, horse shows, road trips, or just having someone who gets this season of life, local chapters help turn connection into community.

That is the heart of 40 Something Cowgirls. 🤠💕

Watch this HQ Heart Check as we talk about why chapters matter and why starting one in your area could make a bigger difference than you think.

Before polished videos, smooth transitions, and easy editing apps… there was this little gem.

One of our early attempts at creating a welcome video for new chapter members, featuring four familiar HQ faces at the time: Rhonda, Kim, Kristi, and Jodie, who also served as our former retail manager and Breckenridge Chapter Queen.

There were funny faces.
There were forgotten lines.
There was laughing.
There was starting over.
There was probably at least one person silently questioning all of her life choices.
And at one point, there was a very enthusiastic, slightly colorful team pep talk that basically meant, “Come on ladies, we can do this!”

Because we needed to get it all right in one take, it took what felt like approximately 847 tries.

You may even spot the old “www” version of our website, but don’t worry, the phone number is still the same and the cowgirl spirit is fully intact.

This is the kind of behind-the-scenes moment that reminds us 40 Something Cowgirls has always been built by real women doing their best, laughing through the mess-ups, and eventually getting the words out in the right order.

Mostly.

We have never been about perfection.

We have always been about showing up, trying again, and finding a way to laugh together when things go sideways. 🤍

Sometimes the outtakes say it best. 🤠😂

We’re leaning into more relationship-building conversations on Beneath the Brim because sisterhood doesn’t grow from perfect scripts. It grows from real moments, shared stories, laughter, honesty, and the kind of conversations that make you say, “Oh thank goodness, it’s not just me.”

So yes, there will be laughs.
There will probably be more bloopers.
And there will definitely be more real talk from beneath the brim. 🤎

Stay tuned, cowgirls. This is just the beginning. Next episiode: July 7th at 7 pm Central time

Whatever it looks like for you, we want to see it.

We had an Amazing turn out for our June Roundup Meeting! We supported local and enjoyed each other's company at Macleay Country Inn.

Fun Fact: Our server rides on a local drill team and has fun with her horse like we do!
