Several years ago, now, when my daughter Lauren was helping me gather our longhorns, I told her I had to ride ahead to set some gates at the pens. I asked her if she could finish driving the cows to the corrals by herself, and she said she had it handled. I looked back, as I rode off, and noticed how pretty she was and just how handy she had become - a confident horsewoman with stock sense. She was ‘pretty handy’. This piece depicts the strength and beauty of young women of the West. It romantically captures the empowerment of women in the American West and the historical significance of the modern cowgirl.
