Catching The Cowboy

I have come to LOVE Shanna Hatfield’s books ever since I found them last year. She focuses on Cowboy/Cowgirl romances and they are the type of books you can even have your teenage daughters read. They are romantic, clean, addictive and your escape from the real world. I can’t wait to dive into, “Catching The Cowboy...”.

In “Catching The Cowboy,” She’s fresh out of jail . . . He’s fresh out of luck.

Spoiled billionaire heiress Emery Brighton indulges in one mimosa too many, attempts to steal a horse, and winds up in jail. A sentence of community service leaves her at the mercy of strangers on a remote ranch near a small town in Oregon. Adjusting to country life is hard enough, but she has no idea how to handle her growing affection for a surly cowboy and his adorable daughter.

Steady and dependable as the day is long, rancher Hudson Cole just wants to raise his little girl and be left alone. When his grandmother invites a lawbreaker dressed in Louis Vuitton to Summer Creek Ranch, Hud is convinced Grammy has lost her ever-loving mind. Determined to detest Emery, he instead finds himself doing the one thing he vowed would never happen again: falling in love.

With one foot out the door, will love be enough to convince Emery to stay?

This sweet romance offers a funny, delightful happily ever after adventure in a quirky small town. Read about a meandering goat named Ethel, meddling matchmakers, and a community that feels like home in a story filled with heart, humor, and hope.

Set your Streaming service for the 56th ACM Awards Urban returns for his second year after hosting the 55th ACM Awards in September, while this marks Guyton’s first time hosting the ACM Awards and the 29th time multiple hosts have taken the ACM Awards stage. Guyton’s performance of her critically acclaimed song “What Are You Gonna Tell Her?” at last year’s show featured Urban as a surprise guest on piano.

“I’m beyond thrilled to be co-hosting with my friend Mickey,” said Urban.

“I love that finally everyone will get to see her infectious energy and uber creative spirit in full light.”

“Last year I had the opportunity to perform at the Academy of Country Music Awards with someone I long admired, Keith Urban, and this year I am incredibly excited to share hosting duties with him,” said Guyton. “As I’ve said before ‘if you can see it, you can be it,’ and it’s such an honor to step onto the ACM stage as the first ever Black woman to host the show. Over the years, the Academy of Country Music has always been a home for me through opportunities both onstage and throughout their work on diversity and inclusion. This is a moment of great significance for me and I am so thrilled to share it with all the fans.”

“Following Mickey’s groundbreaking and emotional performance featuring Keith Urban at last September’s ACM Awards, the producers knew 14| Cowgirls In Style | April/May 2021

that they would make a perfect hosting duo,” said ACM, dcp and CBS in a joint statement. “Since then, Mickey had a stratospheric rise and Keith has continued to top the charts. They will make a dynamic pairing that captures the warmth, humor, and comfort that the fans are looking for, and join a legendary list of talented artists that have hosted the ACM Awards over the years.”

Urban is a double nominee in the Music Event of the Year Category for his collaboration with P!nk on his latest single, “One Too Many,” for which he received an additional nomination as the song’s producer.

In addition, he received a nomination for his collaboration with Thomas Rhett, Reba McEntire, Hillary Scott, and Chris Tomlin on “Be A Light.”

To date, Urban has won 15 Academy of Country Music Awards, securing his first win in 2001. He has spent the better part of his life harnessing a deep-seated passion for music. This, when combined with his authenticity and talent, helps to exemplify why he is one of the most well-respected artists in the world. In addition to his ACM Award wins, he’s pocketed four GRAMMY© Awards, three AMAs, two People’s Choice Awards and celebrated nine consecutive gold, platinum or multi-platinum albums. His latest studio album, The Speed of Now Part 1, marks the fourth in an historic streak of simultaneous #1 album debuts in the United States, Canada and Australia. It produced “One Too Many,” his latest single, the Top 5 hit “God Whispered Your Name,” as well as the international hits “Polaroid” and “Superman.”

ENTERTAINMENT While plans for a tour were placed on hold, and many in the country faced stay-at-home orders, Urban did what he does best – found ways to stay connected with his fans and used music as balm.

He was one of the first to take to social media to perform a series of “concerts” from his home. He stole the attention of the world with his performance of Steve Winwood’s Higher Love, for Lady Gaga’s “One World: Together at Home.” His concert for COVID-19 first responders became the first in the U.S. to be held at a drive-in movie theater

debut single “Better Than You Left Me.” The following year she was nominated for her first Academy of Country Music Award for New Female Vocalist.

Mickey returned to the ACM Awards in 2019 performing “I’m Standing With You” from the BREAKTHROUGH movie soundtrack alongside Chrissy Metz, Carrie Underwood, Lauren Alaina and Maddie & Tae. This last year, Mickey performed her first solo ACM Awards performance of “What Are You Gonna Tell Her?” with labelmate Keith Urban’s accompaniment on piano. The perfor-

10 Ways Character In Stable Life

-By Sean Russell

Horses are large and intimidating, so naturally it takes a lot of confidence to be able to control one. Letting a child handle a gentle horse will do wonders for their confidence.

Here are just some of the ways horses build character in children: 1. Learn Responsibility - Horses will teach your child responsibility very quickly. Make sure that your child does all the work involved in caring for the horse. Everything from feeding, cleaning stalls, grooming, saddling and riding. Children will want to ride but they may not always be eager to do the work.

However children almost always fall in love with the horses that they handle and they will want to take as good care of them. Once they know that the horse depends on them and that in order to ride they have to take good care of the horses, they will learn to be more responsible in other aspects of there life.

2. Learn Trust - Horses must be able to trust their handlers. One of the first things that your child will learn about handling and riding horses is to be trustworthy and dependable, because if the horse doesn’t trust its handler, it will not obey him/her. This can be a very valuable life long lesson for your child.

3. Learn to be Open Minded - Every horse is different and will have to be handled

24 | Cowgirls In Style | April/May 2021

differently. A good horseman never stops learning, even experts and trainers will admit that they learn something new everyday from their horses. Horses will make your child realize that learning is an on going process that never ends. This can transcend into other aspects, such as school and relationships.

4. Build Confidence - Horses are large and intimidating, so naturally it takes a lot of confidence to be able to control one. Letting a your child handle a gentle horse will do wonders for their confidence. Most people are naturally a little bit timid, especialy a child of horses because they are so big. By handling a gentle horse children will overcome their fear and learn that they can safely handle and control the same animal that they were once had great fear of. The better your child learns how to handle the horse, the more confident he/she will become. When children do well with the horses that they handle, their confidence goes up and their self esteem improves. They now realize that this huge creature they were once afraid of is a beautiful and loving animal.

Horses Build Children

5. Learn Patience - Horses are like children themselves, and training a horse is much like teaching a child. When your child has become a confident and skilled rider, letting them help train a horse will be an excellent experience for them. Horses require a lot of patience because training a young horse involves a lot of repetition and time. This is a lesson that will follow them in all aspects of life.

6. Self Discipline - Horses take a lot of time and work, so your child will have to be dedicated to learning how to ride and handle horses effectively. I have found that dedication is rarely something that children lacks when it comes to horses. People, especially young people, have a natural attraction to horses and enjoy spending time with them. However, because horses are a lot of work your child will soon learn self discipline. www.cowgirlsinstyle.com | 25

For example, instead of sleeping in in the morning, they will be up and out feeding and cleaning. Horses must be fed twice daily and have access to fresh water at all times. Their stalls must be cleaned regularly and they must receive regular exercise. This will take a lot of time, but most people find that it is worth it for the time they get to spend riding, or just being with horses.

7. Teaches Sensitivity - Horses can be very sensitive creatures. They have keen senses, and can sense if someone is afraid, angry, happy, etc. They communicate with body language and are very sensitive to their handler’s body position. Because horses are so sensitive, the handler must be also. The handler must be able to tell how the horse is feeling and why it is behaving the way it is. The handler must learn to interpret the horses body language and to communicate effectively with the horse using its own language. When a horse misbehaves, the handler must decide whether or not the horse is doing so out of fear, stubbornness, anger, pain etc. and must respond appropriately.

8. How to Learn From Our Mistakes - When your child first starts learning to ride and handle horses they will make a lot of mistakes and will learn quickly not to make the same mistake twice. That is what horsemanship is all about. When a rider makes a mistake he/she

26 | Cowgirls In Style | April/May 2021

cannot deny it. They must acknowledge the mistake and correct it. The rider must move on after correcting the mistake and not dwell on it. Handling and riding horses will teach your child to use their past mistakes to improve their future horsemanship skills and this will tanscend into other aspects of your childs life.

9. Learn Respect - Children will learn to respect their horses and themselves. Horses are large, dangerous creatures and they demand respect, yet in order to be handled safely they must also respect their handlers. By learning how to handle a horse, children will become more respectful of there horse and its nature. By being trustworthy, confident and responsible your child will earn the respect of there horse.

10. To Have Fun - Last but certainly no least, your child should have fun and enjoy being apart of the horse life style. You don’t want to put too much demand on your childArticle Submission, you need to let them have fun with there horse as well as know when its time to be serious.

I hope the information provided here will help you realize how important it is for you to find a creative yet fulfilling way for you to teach your child all aspects of owning and caring for a horse.

But we officially met after Clay slid into my direct messages A.H.: That’s correct! He grew up raising on Instagram and smooth talked his way cattle, chickens, and show pigs.

CIS: You both have been on reality television. You were on “Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Making the Team,” in 2014 and Clay was a Houseguest on Big Brother 17. What were some of the highlights and lowlights of those experiences?

watching you. That’s extremely terrifying.

A.H.: Reality television was an amazing opportunity that we were both blessed to have experienced. There are a lot of things we both took from the experiences. The adversity and challenges the first time I tried out for DCC was very hard. However, coming back the following year while overcoming a lot of those same challenges to make the team was an amazing feeling and personal accomplishment. It taught me perseverance and to never give up on my dreams. One of the biggest highlights for Clay happened once he was off the show and back to normal life.

The happiness and joy he could bring fans he would run into in public or talk to on social media is something he will never forget. Their dream has always been to be on Big Brother, and being someone that was fortunate enough to be able to live out their dream, he couldn’t be more excited to talk about that experience with them. The lows for both of us were definitely knowing that everyone is/ will eventually be

A.H.: I was first exposed to modeling when I cheered for the Cowboys, doing different shoots for them, and then really it took off from me being in the wedding industry and around lots of photographers and other vendors. It opened doors for me to start modeling for things that were in the industry. I think it’s important to do small gigs and let photographers help grow their brand while they help grow yours as well. It gets you exposed more to other gigs and gets you more experience.

CIS: We have many women and girls who write in to us about modeling. How did you start out and what is your advice to those looking to get into the industry?

Wedding Q&A’s

CIS: You and Clay were married last October? What were your colors and what were some of your favorite wedding decor ideas and memories from that day?

A.H.: My wedding colors were neutral tones, with greenery and white flowers, gold accents, and farm tables, white classic cake. My bridesmaids dresses were black silk and the groomsmens were in black tuxes. My favorite piece of decor was the wooden cross that Clay helped build, that we used in our ceremony and it had a beautiful floral arrangement

on it. I had several favorite memories from that day, so it’s hard to choose. But one of them was during our ceremony, seeing Clay crying at the end of the aisle, because he is not an emotional person, it was just an amazing feeling seeing that. And another favorite memory was the beautiful rays of light shining in on our faces as we stood there saying our vows, because I felt that it was my Dad’s there in spirit, smiling and shining down on us. I’ll never forget those moments.

Meet Founder/Owner of Cutest Coops, Kathy Vegh Hughes “Just over 4 years ago my thoughtful husband surprised me with a small chicken coop for the holidays (he knew I really wanted chickens of our own because I talked about it all the time!), it was from a large online retailer and looked really cute in the pictures but didn’t quite deliver in person. As a matter of fact, my husband spent countless weekends and hundreds of dollars adding a larger run to the coop so that our chickens could have enough space to live comfortably.

Once our coop was finally up and ready for chickens, I just couldn’t wait to introduce our first tiny flock of hens to our family… on our daughter’s 3rd birthday we started with 3 hens!! We named them Snap, Crackle and Pop (Pop is still with us thankfully and rules our current roost)!

As time went on, we fell in love with owning chickens!

It was so idealic!! Chicken keeping brought us peace after a stressful day at work and helped us teach our daughter about where food comes from and how to live a more sustainable life. All in all, we were hooked on having backyard chickens but our coop was very obviously not the long-term solution we needed (it barely survived one winter). We quickly started looking for a quality solution and were disappointed to find that our options were very limited and not very aesthetically pleasing so we designed our own and as they say, the rest is history…

54 | Cowgirls In Style |April/May 2021

My professional background included nearly two decades in the home goods industry and I have grown to be fond of timeless design, impeccable quality and long-term value, these factors led me to partner with local craftsman here in Ohio. I based our designs on both home trends as well as consumer needs and pain-points, like the ones I had already experienced. As a result of this discovery our Cutest Coop Collections are all made with key features including: accessibility, predator safety, ventilation, cleanliness, quality & design.”

Meet The Builders

Growing up in Ohio one is exposed to the Amish Community at a very young age and the consistent themes known about their culture includes honesty, integrity and quality. As years pass, the Amish seem to advance in terms of their ability to build better and faster than anyone else.

When the founder of Cutest Coops decided to start looking for building partners to help build sustainable, high-quality coops the search quickly identified the Amish. After extensive research and posing as a consumer herself, the specific builders were engaged and, as they say, the rest is history!!

It would be unfair for us to educate you on the Amish but here is a useful article by the Wall Street Journal which highlights their undeniable building
