Cowgirls Assembling at a Watering Hole

Cowgirls… how the west was really won! Rodeo cowgirls, otherwise known as rodeo queens, were a large part of the Old Wild West. Many people nowadays think of cowgirls as

these cute women in cowboy boots and fringe, but that is certainly not the case!

Cowboys rode broncos, shot guns, and sometimes even performed. Some of the most famous cowgirls of the time were Annie Oakley, Calamity Jane, and Dale Evans.
