Cowgirl Up!

Had a great working trail ride today with the NW Arkansas CowGirl Up riding group. I tracked these ladies down on the internet, but found that most horse people had heard of them or knew someone who rode with them. So today I was glad to meet up with a few of the ladies at the Wedington Lake area of the Ozark National Forest, and take a trail/trail clearing ride. Last year after the big ice storm, trails were left blocked by downed branches and trees. These gals know their woods and have worked hard to keep horse trail going in this part of the forest. They ride all over the area and do a lot of camp outs. Here is what they have to say about their group:

 

Cowgirl Up Riding Club was started by a lady in the Pineville area who was recovering from health problems and wanted to ride for exercise. She posted a note somewhere, wanting ladies to ride with, and the rest is history.

We currently have over 100 members from Missouri, Eastern Oklahoma, and NW Arkansas. We ride on Wednesdays and Saturdays and sometimes schedule campouts. Our ladies get together to have fun and relieve the stress of everyday life. They ride all different kinds of horses, some gaited, some not, it doesn't matter. We meet every 2 months at different locations on designated dates. A newsletter is posted following the meeting with scheduled rides and subjects of discussion. We are always doing something fun and welcome new members. Come ride with us.

Membership dues are $12.00 yearly, which gives you access to our web site.

Phlame fits right in with these fellows. Even though we stopped to clear trail, we still covered a little over 8 miles.

I am ready to join. Just got my trailer and my horse is coming. How do I sign up and get a list of trail riding events?
