I just returned from the annual Cowgirl Hall of Fame Induction Luncheon. My dear friend and soul sister, Meggan Hill McQueeney, was inducted this year.

I want to share her beautiful story with you as written in the luncheon program.

Cow FUN Off the Charts

Two of my dear friends, Kathy Price from Wales and Jane Pike from New Zealand came to visit us in Brenham, Texas after attending Warwick and Robyn Schiller’s Podcast Summit. They were on a holiday/cutting horse riding adventure before returning home.

They are both delightful. We had a blast! They fell in love with working cattle. It was fun to be beside them as they experienced something so new.

Here’s a shout out to Jonathan and Laura Yarbrough for bringing their good horses for them to ride – and – James, Caty and Jamey Paben for making it all happen with cattle at Miracle Farm Ranch.

We were all sad to say goodbye. So we decided to say, “See you soon!”

Enjoy the video. Jane and Kathy tell our 3-day adventure story very well.

My Mexico trip last weekend didn’t happen, but I did notice something about my reaction to not going that was a great reminder for me, and I have come to know is one of the most important starting points of confidence. That’s the ability to be self-aware and then make choices. That’s what this video is all about.

An interesting phenomenon happens when we allow ourselves to dream what we really want to do instead of what we think we’re supposed to do – or have done in the past.

When we don’t limit ourselves and decide to go for it, the track of our lives can turn into an adventure.

That’s what this video is all about.

What’s Your Story?

Do you think of yourself as a fabulous storyteller?

You might not consider yourself one, but we’re all good at telling ourselves tall tales.

Many of them aren’t very positive either, like what we think of our ability to do something well or what so and so really meant when they said a certain thing.

We all process information and experiences differently. Some of us love to listen to information. Others are visual. And then a percentage of us are mostly tuned into touch.

I’m more auditory. I love to see things, too, but I know I process more readily by listening.

This video is one more in my “finding your seat” series of video for working a cow. I talk about why it is so important for you to be grounded in your center of balance as you put your hand down after making the cut and before working a cow.

“How to Sit Deeper, Part 2”

Previously I did Part 1 about developing a deeper seat as you work a cow.

This is Video 2 in that series. While it’s for all who work cattle (cutting, reined cow horse, and ranch cutting riders, etc,) there’s a message here for riders in all discipline.

I also focus on the role of using the horn in cultivating a deep seat.

This is the second video in a series for developing a deeper seat.
