There are many ways to get to San Francisco. For Caring Cowgirl owner Liz Beeson-Evans, it went something like this:

She grew up between Northern California and Jalisco, Mexico, moving to the city in the late-2000s. After being far away from family a few years while living first in Brooklyn and then in Los Angeles, her fiancé-now-husband got a good job and they came back five years ago to a very different city.

In this episode, Liz goes into detail about how her childhood around horses and other farm animals steered her toward a career caring for animals. Join us Thursday for Part 2, when Liz will talk about starting her non-profit, Caring Cowgirl, which offers therapeutic mini-equine visits (one mini dwarf horse and one mini donkey) to people in San Francisco.

We recorded this podcast at Bay Area Ridge Riders Ranch in March 2019.
