REINED COWGIRLS The challenges facing females in Canada’s cow horse scene. By Jessica Cline
It’s no secret the sport of reined cow horse can be rough and tumble. It, like any of the western performance disciplines, takes determination, grit, and skill.

Meet four gals who are blazing trails as they share their thoughts and experiences on being female and competing in this challenging sport.
