Is this Adventure Cow Intensive Clinic for you?
Yes, if……

  • My horse has worked cattle before and has had some professional training on cattle (either cutting, reined cow horse, etc.)
  • I am an experienced rider who has shown or would be interested in learning how to show in cattle classes
  • I want to solve my current challenges working a cow
  • I want some more time working a cow - I want to practice more
  • I want to deepen my knowledge and experience of working a cow
  • I want to leave the program with the knowledge and skills to continue building my confidence going forward
  • I can’t wait to have fun, share experiences and make new friends with likeminded cowgirls


What makes this clinic different?

Lots of opportunities to work a cow!

Time to have fun with the other cowgirl participants. Club Cowgirl events are all about friendship, fun, and camaraderie.

The coaching and the environment are positive and uplifting. You will feel safe being yourself with Shannon, Barb, and the other participants.

Focus on understanding and working cattle - the topics of clinics involving cattle typically focus on a specific cow sport rather than foundation cattle knowledge and skill development about working a cow in general. Usually, cattle are mentioned as an incidental sidebar.

This clinic provides an exceptional opportunity for you to gain layers of knowledge, skill, and multiple experiences with cattle.

This Cow Intensive Clinic focuses on three main topic areas: the cow, the horse, and the rider. You'll understand how cattle think and move, the essential form and rhythm of the horse as he/she works a cow, and the horsemanship skills necessary for you to have grounded balance and ride your horse accurately on a cow.

One of the most common complaints about clinics is the amount of time 'standing around' and waiting for your turn. In this clinic, however, you will not be idle.

You will spend lots of time riding with two accomplished clinicians and engage independently at learning stations. You may also choose to rest or take a break.

About...


The nostalgia of the traditional cowgirl conjures up images of grit and grace. And, today’s cowgirls are no different.

Inside every cowgirl, you will find a strong, dedicated, hard-working, and committed woman. She is passionate about being the best she can be while enjoying her connection with a good horse, good friends, and the best in life’s adventures.

Club Cowgirls is a group of like-minded women who support one another, learn together, and have fun with their horses. Club Cowgirls, founded in 2018, provides educational opportunities for women to learn about horsemanship, competition skills in ranch heritage events and personal growth.
