Let’s get our ride on at Jen’s.  We will meet at no0n, bring something to eat or snack on and something to drink.  There are oil field roads and some could be rocky.  If your horse is barefoot, you will probably want boots for your pony.  The terrain is mostly sand except the roads.  Wonder what kind of critters we might see?m

We will meet at the Kane County visitor Center at 10am.
The Dino 🦕 hike is around 20 to 25 min hike and there is a short yet steep climb to the top. The views are spectacular so be ready to take them in!

We will gather up, laugh, eat and plan our month.  Bring your ideas for any new events and we will discuss them during the meal.

Some of y’all have been wanting to paint these horseshoes.  We can gather around and do a little crafting and alot of laughing.  If you have any old horseshoes, bring them, if not we will have some there.

Join us for dinner and a show. Come see the production of daddy long legs in Kanab and enjoy dinner beforehand with the group. Purchase your tickets from the Redstone theater.

Volunteer Services for Hot Mess Horse and Animal Rescue – Cowgirls have been asked to assist with fencing and animal care. We are meeting at the rescue on Old Murphy Road. All materials are on site for the fence repair, which is needed to separate the horses from the cows, goats, and alpacas. Laura Thornton has offered to pay and declined payment since earning and fundraising for horse rescues is very difficult. We are honored to show cowgirl generosity and compassion to the owner and these deserving animals. We welcome cowgirls and their families to donate time and services to this amazing rescue in the heart of our community
