Friday the 13th!
To most people, friday the 13th is an unlucky day. But not to a Riata Ranch Cowboy Girl!! The number thirteen happens to be Riata's lucky number.
After much hard work in the past few months, rehearsels and countless practices, the younger girls will be appearing in a Christmas Show as the Five Golden Rings!Accompanied by director Jennifer and new member Mindy, the girls will definitely get their time to shine :). Of course the older team will be there to assist and support their younger team mates, from completeing show makeup to helping with choreography, Riata girls stick together.
There are many great things about being a Riata Ranch Cowboy Girl, but one in particular stands out today as we recieve pictures from Mr Mathieson, who took great shots of the girls interacting with troops and their family at the airforce base, to shots backstage by Tami Jo Gramont, friend of the team and phenomenal photographer. The pictures are not only of performing, but of a softer side that isn't made public often; not only are these girls true show people, but are also exceptional young people outside of the arena. Pictures of Brandi holding a little girl that just wanted to be a part of the fray, to pictures of them prepping horses for practice, with silly grins and not an ounce of tired etched on their faces, even though they had done many school appearences the day before and a Bass Pro Shop appearence earlier that day. These girls understand the hardwork that goes into making Riata Ranch what it is simply because they are the ones that do it. There are no grooms, no agents, no managers (besides Dad Chad!); only young women that are joined together, drawn in by the tricks and stayed on for the values, that know hard work equals success.
On such an "unlucky" day, Riata Ranch continues to do what they do. Ranch tomorrow, with practice for the team and some riding as well.
