Who is a cowgirl?

Is it as simple as a woman who wears a hat, rides a horse, and owns cows?

My family owns and operates a large cattle and grain farm, I ride a horse, but I just bought my first real felt cowboy hat, so am I a cowgirl? I can't even throw a rope. In fact, many of the neighboring women I consider cowgirls don't wear cowboy hats or know how to throw a rope either. 

The definition of a cowgirl is bigger than just the way a person looks. A cowgirl tends to the land and its animals with grace and confidence. She is courteous, she is kind, she is gritty, she is skilled, and she is passionate. She is integral to the daily farm operations whether she is aboard her horse or busy in the kitchen while minding the children. She doesn't have to own a cowboy hat or know how to handle a rope to call herself a cowgirl. A cowgirl is an attitude or personality.

My latest collection features myself and my cowgirlin’ friends recreating the legends and stories we’ve been told, along with a few of our real-life, day-to-day experiences. It is a reflection of the land we manage and the pride we have for the life we live.
