Calendar
The list may take a minute or so to load. There are a lot of events!
Please join us at the Cotton Patch in Midland for the Midland, TX Cowgirl’s Roundup monthly meeting. Sunday @ 6:00 pm
We will be participating in the Rocket Donkey Productions Barrel Race in Clovis, NM. Come join us or cheer our Cowgirls on.
Bring out the horses and lets kick off this season in a fun way. We host monthly practice events. You can practice traditional clover-leaf barrels, poles, and any play day event you can think of. We enjoy several hours of arena riding and fun.
Join us for our first Round Up of 2024. We have not decided where to host just yet, but send me a message and I will let you know soon.
We will be attending the Connie Combs Barrel Clinic at the Mallet Arena in Levelland Tx. This is an amazing opportunity to learn from one of the industry’s best barrel racers.
Come join us at the first NBHA race held in Tx05 district. Its gonna be a fun 2 day event.
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 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.
Some days we just need a Cowgirl break in the middle of the week! Let’s get together for a quick lunch a few laughs.
We will be attending the bull riding event at the Ector County Coliseum tickets can be purchased through etix.com
Let’s gather up and see what great ideas we can come up with to plan some rides and / or activities for the month.
This event is for auditing the clinic only. Cost to audit is $30 cash per day. SAFE volunteers and adopters can audit for FREE.

Greetings! Our First Meeting for our new Rochester, WA Chapter!
Come meet and greet and see what we are all about. I can’t wait to see you all. There is no cost to meet at Figaro’s but I will purchase a couple of pizzas. Maybe show support of a wonderful local business with the purchase of a soda, but do not feel obligated. 🙂
I will post a zoom meeting link on our Facebook page and attempt to provide an online option if that will help for people to be able to attend.
Contact me with any questions!
Ok ladies, we had to reschedule due to illness, but same place, same time, different bat day! 🙂
Come join us as our new chapter gets its feet off the ground! Looking forward to seeing you all there!

Chapter Queen
Let’s gather, visit, and plan our next events! I have a challenge for everyone, bring a visitor! Try and find a friend that you think might like to become a member of the funest bunch around!
So crafty Queen Jen thinks we can do this easy craft, we will be making coasters out of tiles, temp tattoos and mod-podge. You would think she would learn that God gave each of us different gifts. Come on out and if anything, let me entertain yall!
Queen Jen is from the Pecos area and this is a favorite of hers.
Bring your ideas on what you would like to do! I am thinking a date night with a movie and dinner. Have y’all seen the previews for the movie TWISTERS?
Come join us for a fun day of being introduced to Competitive Mounted Orienteering! Kathy is very graciously donating her expertise and time to help us gain a peek into this fun event!
There will be a 2 hour basic reading, navigating, etc.
Short lunch break
Then we saddle up and head out into the woods to navigate and find 4 plates!
What to bring: Your own lunch, drink and a horse. Yeehaw!
Kathy wants to provide us insight into this fun sport. You can ride as a team or individually and compete through the year if you desire.
Please do RSVP by June 30th to Kathy so she will have a head count. Currently, there is no limit to the number of riders, but as she gets an idea of how long the list may be, there may be a waitlist needed. So check in with her early!
You may also reach out to me, Kasey Omon, by text 360-561-3773 and I can get you in touch with Kathy also.
Hello Ladies! Our SECOND round up!!
I’m going to put together an agenda (in all my spare time lol) But we are having this at Figaro’s in Grand Mound again (Rochester).
Let us know if you can make it! There is a facebook event that you can find on out chapter page. Check there for updates also.
Things to think about for the meeting…what do you want to see happen in our chapter, how can you contribute? What events might you like to see added to the calendar and can you commit to rounding up cowgirls on a roster for your events?
Looking forward to seeing you all!!
Kasey Omon, Chapter Queen
Hello! Rochester Chapter is putting on a small Trail Ride, starting a bit early to beat the heat just in case it is hot.
We will meet at the equestrian parking lot (the north lot of the two parking areas on the West side of Case Road. See directions below). A Discover Pass is required and must be displayed on your dash. Please do not leave valuables in your vehicle or trailer.
An equipment safety check will be conducted prior to taking off, and helmets are strongly encouraged, but I will also check with Cowgirls HQ if they are required or not for a cowgirl organized ride. 🙂
This will be a walking only trail ride, and shorter for those of use whose horses (or riders!) may not be as conditioned.
Please keep in mind, following the cowgirl (and true horsemanship feel) we will start as a group and end as a group and leave no one behind. 🙂
Directions:
From the north, take I-5 South to exit 95. Keep left at the fork to continue onto Maytown Road SW (follow signs for Littlerock). Turn left onto Case Road SW. There are two parking lots. The first one you come to after the Scatter Creek Stables is used primarily by horse riders with their trailers. The second parking lot, a bit down the road, is for cars only. A Discover Pass is required to park at both lots.
Come join us for a little fellowship together as we seek to grow closer to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
Join us as we study through the book of Philippians currently. Non-denominational Christian group, but I do come from a Pentecostal background. 🙂
Want to know more about Jesus? Want fellowship with a few like minded gals? It is a small, very casual, very come as you are group. We would love to have you join us! We hope to do this once a month!
Come hang out at my house for a Potluck Meeting! Just do not mind the chaos of a very busy family home and lots of unfinished projects lying around and we will do great! LOL
On the Facebook event on our 40SC Rochester page, there is a comment with a Poll that you can indicate what you would like to bring if you plan on attending. But do not feel pressured to bring anything, we want you to show up even if you cannot bring anything! 🙂
I’m looking forward to seeing you all and hanging out!!!

We have the supplies to make coasters (apparently super easy) and some hair clips. We will be having a bake sale in October to sell these items as a fund raiser.
Jaclynn has lights so we can ride after it cools off
C.M.O. is “competitive” because you compete, as an individual or a team, against other riders to find all of the hidden objective stations. This is a timed event and you compete for a placing for that ride. The points you and your horse earn add up towards year-end placing and lifetime points with the National Association of Competitive Mounted Orienteering (N.A.C.M.O.) and your State organization.
The “mounted” part of the name is because the game is played on horseback. In theory, you shouldn’t have to ever get off the horse as each objective station should be visible from horseback.
And, finally, “orienteering” because you must be able to orient your self on a provided map and find your way around the course. The use of a map and compass, navigating your way around the designated course, identifying landmarks and finding the objective stations is what orienteering is all about.
What C.M.O. is NOT, is an endurance or competitive riding race. In those sports, you follow a set course for a set distance and try to make the best time of all the competitors while getting a good “health” reading for your horse.
In C.M.O. you use your map to pick your route to find all the objective stations following whatever route you think is best to get around the course. Ingenuity, strategy and creativity are all useful.
Like endurance or competitive riding, however, the longer courses can cover many miles over all types of terrain. Common sense says you should have your horse in good shape and conditioned if you plan on riding long distances.
WHAT DO YOU NEED TO RIDE A C.M.O.?
First you need a horse. It is, after all, a mounted sport. Any type of equine is allowed. Mules, ponies, show horses, horses off the track and backyard pets are welcome. Your horse must be at least three years old to compete.
You will also need a compass, small writing pad and pencil.
Other suggested items would be weather appropriate clothing, water, first aid supplies, lunch, and horse water and feed. Not all areas where rides are sponsored have potable water or water for your horse.
Contact Kathy Davis for exact location and details!
No reservations required! Show up and ride the course anytime from 10am – 6pm
(Use to be Bolendar Horse Park)
Full use of Mountain Trail Course and outdoor arena. Overnight Stalls and Camping available.
Please leave no trace…all manure, straw, shavings, hay, etc. needs to be picked up and disposed of before leaving. When you are ready to leave, please notify a staff member and they will check your area and return your haul in fee once cleaned. (Check with staff when signing in, but I believe the haul in fee is separate from the $25 per horse per day fee) 🙂
Call Staci Sherer with questions, per their flier. (503) 812-7688
I (Kasey Omon) will be there with a roster or will arrange for one to be there, but please let me know/text me if you go so I can get you on the roster! My number is 360-561-3773
Jen and James will be working a few cows and they will let us come out and play.
Come join us for our September Round Up!
Listing location as Figaro’s again in Grand Mound, but we may update this.
Just a fun time to get together, let’s chat, I’ll bring my laptop so we can add events to the calendar as we talk about them, so bring your event info/ride info to the meeting if you have any you plan on attending. 🙂
