40 Something Cowgirls upcoming events

40SC HQ Sisterhood Series Challenge July: Side By Side (July 01, 2026)

Wed, 01 Jul 2026 05:00:00 GMT

This month, we’re celebrating the women who make the ride better.

July’s theme is Side by Side, and it’s not about how far you ride or how many miles you cover. It’s about the laughter, encouragement, conversations, and friendships that happen along the way.

This month, we invite you to connect with another 40 Something Cowgirl. Ride together, grab lunch, welcome someone new, reconnect with a sister you haven’t seen in a while, or simply reach out with a kind word.

Some of the best memories are not made because of where we rode. They are made because of who rode beside us.

July Prompt:
Who has made your journey better?

Share a photo with a fellow 40 Something Cowgirl and tell us how she has impacted your journey.

Ride on, side by side.

Share a photo and tell us about the ride, place, or moment that helped you reconnect with the freedom horses bring to your life.

To participate:

1️⃣Register for the June Sisterhood Series Challenge in the Wild Apricot app

2️⃣Ride Free—however that looks for you

3️⃣Share your photo and story in the 40 Something Cowgirls Facebook Group

Include your location or tag your chapter when you post.

Your story may inspire another Cowgirl to saddle up, take a deep breath, and remember why she rides.

We can't wait to see where your adventures take you.

Belfair WA Attending Clark County Horse Expo (July 24, 2026)

Belfair WA - Attending Steve Rother Horsemanship Beach Clinic (August 01, 2026)

Sat, 01 Aug 2026 16:00:00 GMT

Clinic Host: Tery (360-783-2101)

Email: peninsulasaddleclub@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.

*If there are not enough registered participants to have two classes, the clinic will run from 9:30am-3:00pm, with a lunch break from 11:30am-1:00pm. If anyone requires extra assistance or guidance, this time can be extended in the afternoon.

This clinic builds on concepts that take several days to achieve. For best results the clinic should be attended in its entirety; however, a minimum participation of 2 days is required. If your horse is not rideable or is too you, you can participate only within the groundwork portion.

Arena/Facility Fee:

$100 for the weekend
