In Marysville, we celebrate the joy of sisterhood, adventure, and laughter, creating a community where every woman can feel empowered to live boldly, chase her dreams, and make lasting memories.

    The official virtual Tevis started April 23 — 100 miles between April 23 and August 2 with your horse!

    We may be a little behind, so we’re turning this into a fun group challenge by tracking our horse time on Equilab. Time can include grooming, trimming feet, groundwork, lunging, riding, walking, and other horse activities — everything except feeding and cleaning stalls.

    We’ll have two top prizes:

    1. Most total hours spent working with your horse
    2. Most miles ridden or walked with your horse(s)

    We have a group on Equilab, so if you’d like to be added, please contact Tina. If you have questions, feel free to ask!

    Let’s get out there, enjoy our horses, and have some fun this summer. Who’s going to make it to 100?! ☀️

    Welcome to the Sisterhood Series Challenge! June's theme: Ride Free

    This year-long experience was created for one simple reason: none of us were meant to do life alone.

    At 40 Something Cowgirls, sisterhood is the heartbeat of who we are. It’s showing up, lifting each other up, caring for ourselves and our communities, and choosing connection over isolation.

    Each month, you’ll be invited into a new, optional challenge focused on encouragement, reflection, service, and growth. No pressure. No perfection. Loud or quiet, public or private — it all counts.

    June Sisterhood Series Challenge – Ride Free

    Summer is here, and this month's challenge is all about reconnecting with the reason we started this journey in the first place.

    Not the ribbons.
    Not the scores.
    Not the endless to-do lists.

    Just you, your horse, and the freedom that comes from being together.

    This month, we invite you to Ride Free.

    Take time to ride outside, explore a new trail, enjoy a quiet sunset ride, or simply spend a few extra moments appreciating the partnership you share with your horse.

    Ask yourself:

    ✨ Where do you feel most free?
    ✨ What part of riding brings you the most joy?
    ✨ How has your horse helped you find freedom, confidence, or peace?

    Photo Prompt of the Month:
    "Where do you feel most free?"

    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:

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

    2️⃣ Ride Free—however that looks for you

    3️⃣ Share 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.

    This month's affirmation:

    "I choose freedom.
    I choose joy.
    I make time for what fills my soul."

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

    Photos shared for the challenge may be featured on 40SC social media as we celebrate the journey together.

    • Tuscany, Italy
    Registration is closed

    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!
