Hey Cowgirls! On this week's episode I had the pleasure to talk with Devin Conley aka @devinoutwest as she is known on social media. She not only creates funny videos that show the realness of what it is like to own and show horses, but she also uses her platform to spread kindness and education to new horse owners!

On this episode we talk about being a helping hand, being willing to learn more, the positive impact she is helping to make in the industry and inspiring others to do the same, her new role at Horse & Rider magazine, and so much more. 

I can't wait for you to listen to this episode! 

You can follow her on social media if you aren't already @devinoutwest on FB, IG, and TikTok!

This week's episode I had the opportunity to talk with someone who is very passionate about improving the equine industry for the better and making horses more accessible to the general public whether from the APHA office or at shows! He talks about the importance of finding new ways to do better by our owners, exhibitors, and the community around us. I took so much away from my conversation with Billy Smith the Executive Director of the American Paint Horse Association! He really gets the bigger picture that if we find ways to get more education about horses out to the public, it will help everyone from the kids just starting out to our legislators in office creating laws that impact the industry! I hope you will feel inspired by this episode as much as I am! 

If you want to learn more about Billy Smith and APHA you can visit their office at the Ft Worth Stockyards or go online to aphaonline.org or find them on social media

This week's episode is very exciting as I will be sharing with you my conversation with  a young woman who few years ago took a leap of faith and packed up her life as a filmmaker, actress, and producer in LA to begin a career as an assistant racehorse trainer in Louisiana! Anna has such a heart for racehorses, the industry, and promoting the sport to the younger generations to help bring the community together! 

I feel so inspired by her story to not be afraid to just go for it and try something new even if it takes some hard work to get there it is always worth it in the end because you never know what will come from it! I hope you will as well! 

Anna works mostly  out of at the Delta Downs and Louisiana Downs racetracks and you can follow along with her journey as well @thehorsegirldiaries on TikTok, @annalmclain & @horsegirldiary on Instagram!

We all know that a new show season can come with many different feelings or excitement, ambition, nerves, anticipation,  and more. This is the time of year when we are all planning our goals for the year and the steps to accomplish them! On this episode I discuss six tips to help you prepare for the upcoming year of competition and to help set you up for success to make it possible for you to achieve those goals. Whether you are preparing for your very first show or rodeo, planning a comeback to the arena, or this is a whole new season for you I feel that you will take something away from this episode! 

Some of the tips I discuss in this week's episode are how to invest in your horse community and the importance of sportsmanship in competition, inspecting your tack and vehicles, ways to improve your riding out of the saddle, and more. 

Thank you so much for the amazing feedback and support you have given me since launching the podcast! I wish you all the best of luck in the 2023 show and rodeo season! And I will be back with a brand new guest on the next episode!

Stay Blessed and Ride on!

On this week's episode I am talking to one of my dear friends Kelcey McNamee she is a wife, a momma, a cowgirl, and a barrel racer. She truly embodies what it means to put everything into your passions and your goals. Kelcey inspires me with how she is trusting God with the path He has set before her on this journey, but remembering that that is only part of who God made her to be. "This is what we do it does not define who we are." She is exactly who I thought of for you to hear from when I started this podcast as she understands the big picture of what it takes to grow the industry and keep it strong for future generations. It takes everyone working together in order for the community to grow and succeed. That there is no shame in asking for help when you need it and that money doesn't always buy you the world championship or title! If you have a calling on your heart from God and a strong work ethic there is nothing you cannot do! I had so much fun talking to Kelcey in this episode and I hope you take away just as much as I did from our conversation. I also hope you feel inspired by her story!

Welcome to The Educated Cowgirl podcast! I am so excited to start this journey with you to help educate, promote and inspire the equine industry and bring us closer together as community! I will be uploading a new episode every other Thursday with new topics, and hopefully interviewing some amazing guests that are working and thriving in the equine industry to help make a name for themselves and promoting the community to make the industry better! 

I also hope to provide educational opportunities to the general public and to open your mind to learn new things about aspects of the industry you may not be apart of. I hope to close the gap between disciplines in the industry to inspire others to put community over competition and remind us that at the end of the day we all love horses and succeeding in our dreams! From the hunter/jumper world to the rodeo world and everything in between!
