Why educate

Not just an event, a movement.

Cowgirls Gathering is a celebration of the deep connection between cowgirls and their horses, a space to gather, inspire, educate and collaborate. Women come to ride, to learn and to be beginners again, and the educators are the reason they leave different to how they arrived.

Educating here is about more than teaching. Whether your thing is horsemanship, business, wellness, creative craft or anything else that supports the cowgirl lifestyle, your expertise gives someone the next step in her journey. You grow your brand and your influence with an audience that is already passionate about what you do, and you give something back to the community that made you.

The reach

An audience that is already listening.

These are the numbers from the lead-up to our last main Gathering. With our social media, website and in-person reach growing every year, the platform you step onto keeps getting bigger.

Two ways to gather

The main Gathering, and the Mini.

The main Gathering

Our full-format event. Spectators, competitors, trade stalls and a program of educators running over three days. This is the big stage, and the one most educators apply for.

Mini Gatherings

Smaller, more intimate riding weeks with a handful of educators and a capped group of cowgirls. Fewer people, more saddle time, and a connection that extends across the year between main events.
