Validation is something we all crave, especially when it comes to our sense of belonging in a community. In the Western industry, where tradition and authenticity hold such importance, it can be easy to feel like an outsider or that we don’t quite fit in. Scrolling through social media and seeing those perfectly curated outfits and picturesque ranches might make you think you’ll never measure up.

But let me tell you this: We ALL have value and a place in this industry.

Whether you grew up on a ranch or just discovered your passion for all things cowboy or cowgirl, you’re welcome here, and your presence matters!

Remember, this isn’t about competition or comparison. Our journeys are unique, and each one is equally valuable. Instead, let’s lift each other up! Embrace new members who are eager to learn and join in—everyone deserves support and encouragement.

It’s easy for those who have grown up in the community to think “Man that girl knows nothing”, but the truth is that is not a welcoming attitude. It’s a GREAT thing our community is growing. It means more opportunity for everyone.

No matter where you are on your western journey, whether you’ve been here your whole life or just starting out, never doubt your worth. You bring something special and important to this community!

Together, we can make the cowgirl community the absolute BEST!

Always remember, you are valid and important in the Western industry. Embrace your unique journey, and don’t let anyone make you doubt your worth. Together, we can create a welcoming and supportive community that celebrates authenticity. Let’s keep growing together! 💪🤠✨🦋

We have a community over on the gram filled with supportive friends. Follow along, we would love to have you!
