Where is the thread from yesterday that had the working cowgirls? I wanted to show it to my wife.
Thanks

Are you referring to the meme by elkhunterman?

This one?

It was a thread that had some pictures of working cowgirls, looked like branding and castrating season.

Here's one of my cowgirls. She's not working, though; she's about to ride in a parade. But, I think she's cute so I'm sharing this...

Here's mine several years ago at the Sheriff's Posse:

Cute children.

I agree, something to be proud of

Hidin' that one from the wife, Ken.
Might give her ideas!

Incredible.

Love to watch the barrel racers at the rodeo

Both the horse and rider look like they mean business. Awesome photo.

This was Little Miss Kimber when we started her out shooting .45s as a kiddo:




This is her at 11 getting her own brace of Ruger Vaquero Montados for Christmas:





Her as a big kid:

Great Thread! More pics please.

Awesome pics. Inspirational. Thanks for posting.

Do we get to wonder what the powder was in the .45's? That's some muzzle flash!

That is the sport of mounted cowboy action shooting.

They shoot a coarse black powder blank that burns in a conical pattern out a certain distance, popping the balloon (hopefully) yet remains safe for the bystanders and spectators in the distance. Powerful and dangerous up close but safe at 50 feet or so.

Mackay!! Outstanding!!!!

Awesome action shots.

x100 - badazzz!

Wow

Great thread. Amazing young ladies.

Great pictures BTW

Cool picture!

Not trying to delegitimize this thread, but I know Hanco surely MUST be able to provide some different kind of cowgirl pics…

X100

Awesome ! !

🦫

Love the pics. These are the kind of threads I like to see and read,

This is an awesome thread! Not at all what I expected to see when I first opened it.

Look at the look on her face!

That is the look of a winner!

She's leaning into it and is all determination.

Thanks for sharing the cool pics Mackay!

Wow, outstanding performance by your daughter Sagebrush.

That's a GREAT shot!

Don’t remember where I got it, but I really like it. Little girl on a big horse.

Hoooolyyyyyh crap, can she ride or what????? Bet she could show the boys a thing or two!!! It would be fun to be there when some jock challenges her in a few years. It would be hard to keep a straight face??? Bill. 👣🐾👣🐾🇨🇦

Excellent pictures Mackay!

I was hopin' you'd post up in here.

Bet you are proud of that young lady!

This thread is awesome!

Awesome. Those horses have to be bombproof with all that muzzle flash, noise, and smoke!

Yes Sir!

And you have been part of that!

Friends!

The tan chaps that Ms Kimber is wearing are the some of the nicest chaps I have seen in years. They are made of elk hide. They were a gift from Rockinnbbar to little miss Kimber, and she loves them. When she wears chaps at a show, these are the ones she wears now.

Here she is at the world shoot in Texas in 2020:






She also had her picture wearing those chaps (along with a bunch of other Idaho cowgirls) in a music video called "American Girls" by a band based out of Austin Texas that was founded in the little town of Stanley Idaho called Reckless Kelly. A Grammy winning group of Idaho mountain boys.

A still from the video:




So again, a big thanks to rockinbbar!

Cool stuff MS, is that the little girl that ran through the snow in her PJs to visit her friend?

There are a lot of cowgirl pics on the walls at the Shady Nook in Salmon, do you know those folks?


mike r

Man, I don't know the first thing about barrel racing, but that face shows some serious concentration & competitiveness!

Great pic.

So glad she's getting some use out of them!

That's her.

She's a tough one.

I don't know the owner of the nook.

Great thread lads!

Mackay thankyou so very much for those amazing photos and story.

Hope y’all having a great day.

Great photos Mackay! What a great young lady!!!

I have enjoyed all the pics posted by everyone ! Thanks?

I had me one, once.....

I gotta say, as a whole, ya’ll are doing much better. 3 pages already and all the cowgirls are still fully clothed. 😁

That's an awesome picture Hanco, the power that little girl is in complete control of is unbelievable.

I've always suspected Barry was a good and generous man, Mackay's story just confirms it.

Mackay, your daughter is awesome!

Heres the vid.

Those are great pictures. Looks like lot of fun that took a lot of work to get to. That's an accomplishment both child and parent should be proud of! Ill bet the horses ears are ringing for a week after a round or two of that.

Fine thread indeed. Back around 1960 one of the neighbor girls did the rodeo thing...blew my little mind to see her doing figure 8s around the barrels.

AMAZING!! My wife sees these pics and wishes she could have a do-over.

Love the pics! Also, listen to Reckless Kelly quite a bit, but still miss Cross Canadian Ragweed.

Saw Cody Canada and Jeremy Plato Friday before last. Cody Canady and the Departed.

Wish I'd have gotten a pic of our daughter preg checking the cows.
Real cowgirl. Totally fearless.
Now teaching FFA.

Check out Mickey and the Motorcars…

The other 2 Braun brothers.


Great pics on this thread!

Mackay you've taught that girl to ride hard and shoot straight just what most of the rest of America falls short on. You the man. Mb

We need more like her, Mark!

How the heck do you get a horse accustomed to a .45 going off in his ear?

“To ride, shoot straight, and speak the truth.”

WOW
This is flat out the best thread I have ever seen on this forum
Haven’t been on here much lately due to all the political bullshit and was about to give it away completely but this has restored my faith

Crowrifle, They actually make earplugs for horses. Not sure every horse needs them, but they are a option if necessary.

Awesome thread, Great kids too, keep up the great parenting and inspirational pictures

That is an awesome picture

I love this thread. will show it to my daughter and she is 36.

Training.

That and the horses actually wear custom made earplugs!

Reckless Kelly. Cody Canada, and The Motor Cars all do a big annual show right down the road from my cabin every year. The big Braun Brothers Reunion. One of them actually films the "Music From the Mountain" series from his yurt/cabin, which is a few minutes from my place. I have been going to the shows and seeing the guys when they come home to visit family for a long time. Lots of times they used to do small gigs at a place like the Catholic Church in Twin Falls or at the Mountain Village in Stanley.

Some horses take to it. Others don't. Had one I just couldn't get a smooth finish on. He'd hear my revolver cock and act up. Sometimes he was good, sometimes he wasn't.

My faithful old yellow horse LOVED it. He lived to do mounted shooting.

Had a hunting outfitter friend and he said a client asked him if you could shoot off his horses while hunting?

My friend told him "Sure! You can shoot off of any horse.... Once."

Went to high school with a girl who rode bulls in the rodeo, Pam Breedlove.

We can be grown up when we want to be!🤪

I graduated with a girl that is still doing the mounted shooting at age 51 down in OK.

I still recall, while we were in school, she had a deaf horse that her brother would take deer hunting. He would lay the barrel on top of the horses head as a rest. lol

Yeah.

This thread ain't the place for it either.

I have to keep going back to this picture. It's one of the best, most impressive, photos I have ever seen.

Nope, best thread in a long while!!!

Cowboy Mounted Shooting, that what it is called as I just learned.

I can see where it is called the fastest growing equine sport in the world.

Looks like a lot of fun and skills needed to win!

The most fun you can have out of bed!

Some of them are hard to forget, eh Pard?

What's the story behind this pic? Just the obvious or something else?

Pretty common. They just start buckin' sometimes...

I've seen many people dumped like that. Lots of barrel racers...

Usually one of those wrecks happens during a parade on asphalt too.

New horse she was working on.

Had a tendency to get a bit rowdy. She had been pitched already a week or so earlier and had her shooting arm in a brace, so she was basicly riding and shooting one handed/ with a limited range of motion.

She couldn't extend her arm all the way, so she was doing a lot of low, point shooting.





Her horse got amped up and decided to pitch her. She apparently said some un-lady like words for an 18 year old directed at her horse, got back on and rode her horse down.

Priceless!

I bet she had a good teacher...

She learned early.

When you get hurt, if you are able, you get back on and you suck it up and ride.



In this pic, I had explained to her on the way to that show that lots of times when I was rodeoing I would get injured, and that getting injured is just part of the sport. Well a short time later, she came in way too hot on a horse that was much to powerful for her. The horse stopped fast and she went flying right into some metal panels. We iced her up, switched her saddle onto another horse and she ended up being the top kid at the shoot in spite of the fact that she couldn't really walk.

We didn't tell her mom about the wreck until well after the shoot was over.

Rural western life.

I need to be quicker on the camera shutter, there were some good young lady riders at the Cherokee Rodeo.

Here’s a few of my daughter, trailing cattle, roping at a neighbors branding, and packing a cow elk hindquarter to the pack horse.

Raisin 'em up right folks !!

Good stuff Ralphie!

She's makin' a hand!

Cool thread, gentlemen. Very cool thread.

Something to be proud of for sure especially with everything you read and see on TV now. Good to know there are still good kids out there

cow girl falling asleep

Very cool pics gentlemen, Thanks all for sharing them.

Best thread in a long time! Thanks for sharing, guys!

Cool thread, everyone! This site needs a "like" button. I would be wearing it out! Great pictures of beautiful girls and beautiful horses!

Me too!

Yes, indeed!!

Great thread! Thanks for the pics...

Man, this is great stuff! Not a horse person, not a cattle person, not a rodeo person.....but, if I knew of a one of these shooting competitions near me, I'd go in a heartbeat! Y'all are raising those young'uns right!

Thanks for sharing the pictures and memories. Yall must be very proud of those cowgirls!

Kimber is the Girl with the Golden Smile.

Good looking blue roan Ralphie

Mackey,

That’s cool.

Bucket list for me to see that show. See muzzy and the boys play. Not to mention all the others come to play the Braun Brothers Fest.

You now how stories go. Was at a bar drinking beer and eating a steak. Started talking to dude beside me. Just BS’ing.

He was down from ID visiting his daughter at college. She was interning at the local zoo. He was gonna trim the hooves on the zebras while there. He was a farrier. And an outfitter during hunting season.

Any way. Said he knew the Braun’s and shod horses for them.

True story? I dunno. We were drinking and BS’ing.

Reckless Kelly is a great band and worth seeing. My sister is friends with some of them and even went to Ireland with them a couple years ago.

The picture of those young ladies on horseback are fantastic. Way to raise them right. Been to quite a few rodeos but never to one of those shooting events. I’m going to have to find one and go see it.

Great thread! Enjoyed the show. My granddaughter competes in Hunter Jumper. English riding.

God Bless Cowgirls!

Mack, Miss Kimber has grown into an amazing young Lady before our very eyes......they grow up so fast!

Continued Blessings Pard!

Frog---OUT!

So a cowgirl? that is someone who has cowboy boots, cowboy hat, and No dick?

sounds like a lot of the campfire trolls we all deal with on a daily basis, coming to the campfire...

My daughter started her own business while she was still in high school. She now owns her own ranch where she breeds and trains barrel racing horses. She also competes and trains riders. She just turned 50 the other day.
Here she is just after the final barrel and making the fast trip home. Note that the instants this picture was taken her horse is literally flying, not one hoof touching the ground.

The definition of a gallop.

Turn and burn!!

My girl kid 14 years ago. She ran poles with that horse, and trained him to be a roping horse too.
