Coming from diverse backgrounds, the Cowboy Girls are renowned for their trick riding and roping act, but they are the real thing. Here is both the grit and the glory of world-class trick riding, plus real cowboy work - handling herds of horses and cattle, saddling mustangs, and driving stagecoaches.
This is the story of Tom Maier, of Riata Ranch, and of the young women whose lives have been enriched there. Told through rich text, entries from the diary of a current Cowboy Girl, the memories of Riata Ranch alumnae, and full-color photographs throughout, the story is spectacular and inspiring.
The Cowboy Girls have performed on network TV and in rodeos, Olympic exhibitions, horse-driving competitions, and NFL half-time shows. They have traveled to 15 countries and have been featured in the Los Angeles Times, Sports Illustrated, the San Francisco Chronicle, the Washington Post, and Cowboys & Indians magazine.

From the Back Cover
Since 1957 Riata Ranch has used the values and traditions of the American Western heritage to build character through disciplined instruction. In Riata Ranch Cowboy Girls Tom Maier, owner and founder of Riata Ranch, and noted equine author Rebekah Ferran Witter tell the story of Riata Ranch and of the hundreds of young women whose lives it has changed.
Highlights include full-color photographs by William Shepley; first-person narrative from the diary of Cynthia "Tiger" Beltran, the youngest member of the current Cowboy Girls; and memories from Riata Ranch alumnae throughout the years. Also included are the strategies of teaching and training that have made Riata Ranch and Tom Maier renowned throughout the equestrian world, along with their secrets on riding, stablekeeping, cowboying, and general horsemanship.
Combining their history, the details of their daily lives, the spectacle of their thrilling performances, and the training tips that have made them one of the top equine acts in the world, this book captures the Cowboy Girls' spirit and allows readers to carry that spirit into their own riding and training.
