"Cowgirl is an attitude. Cowgirl is a pioneer spirit, a special American brand of courage. The cowgirl faces life head on, lives by her own lights, and makes no excuses. Cowgirls take stands. They speak up . They defend the things they hold dear. A cowgirl might be a rancher, or a barrel racer, or a bull rider , or an actress. But she's just as likely to be a checker at the local Winn-Dixie, a full-time mother, a banker , an attorney, or an astronaut."
