40 Something Cowgirls upcoming events

Benbrook TX- Participating in Cowgirl Colors (April 14, 2026)

Tue, 14 Apr 2026 05:00:00 GMT

The Cowgirl is inviting members of the Fort Worth community to take part in “Cowgirl Colors, A Community Canvas,” art project celebrating the cowgirl and the exciting expansion of the Museum.

“Cowgirl Colors, A Community Canvas” focuses on bringing the community together through art by inviting participants to paint 8 x 8-inch wooden panels inspired by the theme of cowgirls and the western lifestyle. The completed panels will become part of a vibrant public art installation spelling the word “COWGIRL” across a custom-installed fence at Alice Walton Park, located just south of the National Cowgirl Museum & Hall of Fame and across the street from Dickies Arena.

Supported by Linbeck Construction, this colorful installation will reflect the creativity, stories, and shared pride of the Fort Worth community while honoring the enduring legacy of cowgirls who have shaped the West.

Participation in the art project is free and open to the public. Community members of all ages and artistic skill levels are encouraged to take part. Wooden panels can be obtained at the National Cowgirl Museum & Hall of Fame while supplies last, giving participants the opportunity to contribute their own artistic interpretation of the cowgirl spirit.

Once completed, the panels will be assembled into the larger temporary display at Alice Walton Park, creating a unique artwork celebrating the museum’s growth and the vibrant culture of the West.

The project is part of the celebration surrounding the expansion of the National Cowgirl Museum & Hall of Fame, reinforcing the museum’s mission to honor and share the stories of women of the West.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE

Participation is FREE and painting supplies (brushes, acrylic paint, stencils and wood panels) will be provided at no additional charge if attending a “painting event.”

Each panel must connect in some way to cowgirls or cowgirl life, which may include (but is not limited to):

Women riders and athletes
Ranching and working cowgirls
Rodeo, horses, and western traditions
Strength, resilience, independence, and community
Historical or contemporary interpretations of cowgirl life

Both realistic and abstract designs are welcome, as long as the connection to the theme is clear. In addition, artwork must be welcoming and family friendly for all ages; The Cowgirl reserves the right to exclude any panel that is deemed inappropriate. Limit 1 panel per person, while supplies last.

Panels are available for pickup at the National Cowgirl Museum & Hall of Fame during regular business hours, Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, noon to 5 p.m.
Participants who take a panel for painting are required to provide their own supplies.
Participants may also attend a “painting event.” Check the events calendar or the listing below.
Panels intended for display must be returned no later than July 1, 2026.
Participants will be able to collect their panel at the close of the exhibition starting November 10, 2026. Panels not picked up by December 30 will become the property of The Cowgirl.

Wed, 06 May 2026 20:30:00 GMT

Cleaning Time: 4:30 PM

Cowgirls, it’s time to shine up that tack and spend some time together! Bring your saddles, bridles, and all the leather that’s been begging for a little love. We’ll gather at Judi’s for a laid-back afternoon of tack cleaning, laughs, and good cowgirl company.

We’ll swap tips on leather care, help each other get those saddles looking show-ready again, and of course catch up on life, horses, and trail stories. Whether your tack just needs a quick wipe-down or a full deep clean, there will be plenty of helping hands.

What to Bring: • Your tack (saddles, bridles, halters, etc.) • Leather cleaner/conditioner if you have a favorite • A rag or sponge • A chair if you want to be comfy while you work

Feel free to bring a snack or drink to share if you’d like — this is as much about visiting as it is about cleaning!

Sometimes the best barn days are the ones where we’re not riding — just spending time with fellow horse-loving friends.

Cowgirls — please register for this event in the Wild Apricot app so we can keep everyone in the loop with any updates.

Let’s make those saddles sparkle and enjoy a good old-fashioned cowgirl tack day together!

Click the link below to register!

https://forms.office.com/r/fnScG3563r

Our Spring Obstacle Course Training and Buckle Series is BACK!

Obstacle training is more than just fun—it’s an incredibly valuable way to build confidence, trust, and communication between you and your horse. By working through poles, bridges, tarps, cones, and other challenges, horses learn to think through new situations calmly, while riders gain better timing, feel, and problem-solving skills.

These sessions are designed to be safe, supportive, and educational for horses and humans of all experience levels. Obstacles are introduced progressively, with an emphasis on patience, clear cues, and positive learning. Whether you’re looking to improve trail confidence, prepare for competition, or simply enjoy a new way to connect with your horse, obstacle training offers something for everyone.

Most importantly, we keep it fun! Expect lots of encouragement, laughter, learning moments, and wins—both big and small. Come challenge your horse’s mind, strengthen your partnership, and enjoy a relaxed environment focused on good horsemanship.

In addition to the Obstacle Training, we are offering a Challenge. Compete in 3 of the 4 Events and earn your chance at winning the title of 2026 Spring Obstacle Challenge Champion in our youth or adult division. The first-place prize is a beautiful, custom buckle from Molly's Silversmith.

Dates for the events:
March 14th, 1pm-5pm
April 11th, 1pm-5pm
May 9th, 8am-Noon
June 13th, 8am-Noon

We’d love to have you join us for one or all of these dates. Come learn, play, and grow together—one obstacle at a time! Text me for more info~ 817-217-5159.

About HEAL Corp

Health. Education. Liberty.

When disaster strikes, the difference between chaos and coordinated response is preparation.

HEAL Corp is a U.S.-based humanitarian disaster response organization built for decisive action in moments of crisis. We bring together disaster physicians, medical specialists, former military leaders, Search and Rescue professionals, aviation specialists, engineers, and logistics experts into one unified response capability.

We deploy rapidly when communities need help most.

Responding at Home

HEAL Corp has supported communities across the United States during some of their most challenging moments, including:

Hurricane Helene flooding in North Carolina
The July 4th flooding in Kerrville and the Texas Hill Country
The Smokehouse Creek Fire in the Texas Panhandle
Search & Rescue operations in Taos, New Mexico; the Colorado mountains; Rusk, Texas; and the Dallas–Fort Worth region

In each deployment, we operate in coordination with local and state emergency management authorities, law enforcement agencies, and incident commanders. Our teams integrate within established response frameworks - reinforcing public systems with medical capability, search and rescue assets, aerial drone support, and field coordination expertise.

We do not operate independently of community leadership.
We deploy to strengthen it.

Our role is to augment capacity when resources are stretched, to provide disciplined operational support in complex environments, and to help restore stability with professionalism and accountability.

Serving Beyond Our Borders

Our mission extends globally.

HEAL Corp has responded to humanitarian crises in Jamaica during Hurricane Melissa, has supported communities impacted by earthquakes in Haiti and Turkey, and delivered emergency medical support and humanitarian aid in Ukraine.

In each nation, we deploy in coordination with host governments and senior local leadership, aligning our operations with sovereign priorities, national emergency frameworks, and ministry-level response efforts. Our role is not to replace local systems, but to reinforce them with disciplined capability, technical expertise, and rapid operational support when capacity is strained.

In every location, our focus remains the same:
rapid response, strategic partnership, and compassionate care.

Why Your Support Matters

Disasters are increasing in frequency and intensity. Communities need response teams that are trained, equipped, and ready before the call comes.

Your generosity supports:

Rapid deployment teams
Search & rescue capability
Medical response operations
Mobile command and coordination infrastructure
Training and programs that strengthen long-term resilience

When you invest in HEAL Corp, you are investing in preparedness, professionalism, and the protection of human dignity.

A Legacy of Readiness

The true measure of leadership is not found in comfort, but in commitment.

Disasters will come. Communities will face overwhelming tragedies. The question is whether we will be prepared when they do.

Tonight is more than a fundraiser - it is an opportunity to build enduring capacity. To invest in trained professionals who stand ready before crisis strikes. To strengthen infrastructure that protects families, restores stability, and reinforces dignity in the most difficult hours.

Your support does not fund a single moment.
It builds sustained readiness.
It equips future deployments.
It changes lives long after headlines fade.

Generosity given tonight becomes preparedness tomorrow.
And preparedness becomes lives protected.

We invite you to partner with HEAL Corp in building something that outlasts this evening - a legacy of readiness, resilience, and responsible leadership.

Because the strongest communities are not those that avoid hardship -
they are those that are prepared to overcome it.

HEAL stands for Health, Education, and Liberty - because strong communities are built on more than survival. They are built on resilience.

We are honored to have you stand with us.

Wylie, TX Attending The American Rodeo (May 22, 2026)

Sat, 23 May 2026 00:30:00 GMT

The American Rodeo Championship Weekend returns to Globe Life Field on May 22–23, 2026, bringing the highest stakes in Western sports. Now in its 13th year, The American is the only rodeo where the world’s top champions compete across all eight disciplines while underdog Qualifiers battle for a life-changing $2 million bonus.

On Friday, May 22, GRAMMY-nominated hitmakers Midland, known for their signature blend of classic country swagger and modern polish, will light up opening night as the final Qualifier field is locked in. With chart-topping hits and a reputation for high-energy live shows, Midland sets the tone as the stakes rise and only the Top 5 Qualifiers in each discipline earn their shot at Saturday’s $2 million bonus — the final year the payout will roll over, turning Championship Weekend into a true last-chance moment fans won’t want to miss.

If you would like to purchase tickets let us know and we will collect the money and purchase tickets together as to have seating together.

What Is an Equine Dental Day?

An Equine Dental Day typically involves a licensed veterinarian or certified equine dental practitioner providing services such as:

Routine oral examinations
Dental floating (filing sharp enamel points)
Correction of hooks, ramps, and wave mouth
Wolf tooth evaluation/removal
Sedation (administered by a veterinarian, if required)
Dental charting and documentation

Dental care is essential because a horse’s teeth continuously erupt throughout life, and uneven wear can cause pain, poor performance, weight loss, and behavioral issues.

Purpose of the Event

Improve horse comfort and performance
Prevent long-term dental problems
Provide convenient group scheduling
Reduce cost through shared travel fees
Educate owners about equine oral health

Fri, 17 Jul 2026 16:00:00 GMT

Clinic Host: Melanie Reeder

Email: melaniereeder86@gmail.com

The Level 1 Class will be primarily focused towards teaching principles of safety, communication, and confidence building for both horse and rider. This is a great class for anyone who is new or still needing foundation exercises, lacking confidence, possibly looking to not canter too much (or wanting to try cantering more), having any major issues with their horse (bucking, rearing, etc.), or themselves. Green horses (less than 6 months of riding) should be in this class. We recommend this class if you have not previously done a clinic with Steve. It will run from 9:00am – 1:30pm.

The Level 2 Class will be primarily focused towards teaching more intermediate to advanced principles. In this class we will assume that you have basic understanding of natural horsemanship groundwork concepts and techniques and are willing to have a ‘go for it’ attitude. This class will involve advancing your groundwork techniques, body control, and riding maneuvers. If your horse has any behavioral issues (bucking, rearing, striking, etc.), this class is not for you. It will run from 2:00pm – 6:30pm.

Marysville, Wa - Tuscany Horseback Vacation (March 31, 2027)

Wed, 31 Mar 2027 22:00:00 GMT

We are putting together a horse riding holiday in Tuscany, Italy for mid-April 2027 and wanted to spread the word to my horse-loving friends.

It’s a week-long Tuscan Trail ride through ancient villages, vineyards, forests, and even along the beach—pretty much a dream ride for any cowgirl.

We already have four confirmed riders from the Forty Something Cowgirls Club, which means three saddles still open. I’m sharing this in case you (or someone you know) might want to join us.

Heads up on timing: the tour company will confirm their schedule in late March, and once they do, we’ll only have 24–48 hours to book before the remaining spots go public. This ride is capped at seven riders total, so it’ll fill fast.

Bonus fun: a few of us are planning to arrive three days early to explore Rome before heading to the ranch—totally optional but a great excuse for extra adventure.

If this sounds like your kind of ride, let me know as soon as you can. More details here:

https://www.globetrotting.co/horse-riding-holidays/italy/tuscany/

Hope you can ride along with us!

Please contact HollyAnne Marking for more info.
