Such a pleasure to be supporting this event since it started.

🌾 WELL, WELL, WELL COWGIRLS 🌾

It looks like we’ve finally found our feet — after five years of trying, testing, and tweaking!

The dust (and there sure was some dust) has settled on Cowgirls Gathering 2025, and wow — what a ride it was. There are so many people to thank once again this year!

First up, to the incredible Cowgirls Gathering 2025 Team — you absolutely rocked it. Talk about playing to your strengths, staying in your lane, and still showing up for each other every step of the way. The energy and synergy you brought was second to none!

Annie, Holly, Jodie, Karon, KP, Mandi, Michelle, Steph, Taylor, Vera, and Wanda — you should all be unbelievably proud of what you pulled off this year. 💛

To our cattle donors and friends, the Ferdinand Family — thank you! It takes a lot to trust your stock to an event, and we so deeply appreciate your support and faith in our little gathering.

To our amazing educators — WOW. Next-level incredible. Overwhelming positive feedback and hopes of seeing you again! Thank you for taking the time out to come and make a difference in the horse world.

To our support partners — Shawn, Reece, Brittany, and Nigel — thank you for joining us again and supporting us every step of the way!

To our vendors — while the majority of feedback was glowing, like us, I know you would’ve loved to see this event sell out. That just wasn’t the case this year, and that’s okay. We’ve learned one thing for sure — some years we’re told we don’t have enough options, and other years, we disappoint a few vendors. It’s a balancing act we’re still perfecting, and your support means everything.

To our suppliers and sponsors — from the gorgeous glamping tents to the new toilets, showers, and horse yards — you made our jobs so much easier this year. The bands, the entertainment, the sound — it all went to a whole new level, and we’re so thankful for the lessons the last five years have taught us.

Now, the big question everyone’s asking…
“Will there be another Cowgirls Gathering in this format in 2027?”

Well, I don’t care much for rumours, so let me just come right out and say it — it’s under consideration!
We’re looking at options and already dreaming and scheming about what the future could look like.

✨ The Mini Gathering will return in 2026 ✨
We don’t see that one changing anytime soon — we sure love that format, and we get to ride with you!

After that, who knows? For those old enough to remember, maybe it’s time for something Expo 88-style… or maybe something international! 🌏

And hey — if you ever hear a rumour, give me a call and I’ll tell you whether it’s a truemor or not. 😉 I’ve heard some wild ones over the years — makes me think a few folks might just have a little too much time on their hands! 😂

It’s going to be exciting, it’s going to evolve, and I truly hope you’ll join us on the next chapter of this wild, dusty, heartfelt journey. 💛🐎

Long Live Cowgirls,
Amanda Loy

Dianne Luker riding Sallydale Wings On Fire. Dianne likes to give me colour challenges. Think I hit the mark with this one.
Dianne has also been giving my cinches and girths a thorough workout since I first started making them.
