Question

How old do I have to be to be a cowgirl?

Community Answer

You don't need to be a certain age to be a cowgirl! If you're planning on riding horses, though, you need to take lessons so you can do so safely.

Question

How can I tell if I'm a cowgirl?

Community Answer

It really comes down to your interests. What do cowgirls like? There are a lot of different types of cowgirls. Some actually live on farms and ranches, some ride horses, and some live in the country. Take a moment to think about the things you like to do and would like to do, and then think of how you would describe someone with those qualities.

Question

How can I become a cowgirl where there are no horses or cows near my city?

Community Answer

Look for a barn that you can take lessons at; you might even be able to lease or buy a horse. You could visit a cattle ranch for your vacation or a dairy farm, if they're close enough to where you live.

Question

Do I need a cowgirl hat?

Community Answer

No, that is just an accessory. It helps keep the sun out of your face, but if it falls off it could spook the horse. It's optional.

Question

Do you need to have cows to be a cow girl?

Community Answer

No. Not all cow girls have horses or cattle. You can help out at a cattle ranch if you would like to spend time with cows.

Question

Do cowgirls have to wear tall boots?

Community Answer

It's a good idea. Most do to protect themselves from snakes, thorns and other potential harm. And they are more durable if you get stepped on by cattle! Tall boots are a necessity for all cowgirls but it’s whatever you prefer if you're just being fashionable on an urban street.

Question

How can I be a country girl if I am allergic to horses? I already live in a small country town and I own two rabbits. I don't know if that will help though.

Country girls don't have to own a horse. It seems like you make a good country girl already.

Question

What if my quarter horse is too lazy to rope cattle?

CageyCat

Top Answerer

That's okay. Just tell your quarter horse that only humans can be cowgirls. So he (or she) is out of luck.
