Cowgirl Confident programs are held outdoors on a working farm. We recommend wearing closed-toe shoes or boots, comfortable layered clothing appropriate for the weather. A hat and sunscreen are also recommended.

We recommend bringing rain gear, just in case as well as your bright smile. All event materials, including your participant binder and other registration items will be provided.

Cowgirl Confident events are held rain or shine whenever conditions are safe. Many activities take place outdoors, so we encourage participants to dress appropriately and bring rain gear if the forecast calls for it.

After all, confident cowgirls work cattle in the rain!

In the event of severe weather that impacts participant safety, Cowgirl Confident will communicate any schedule changes as needed on our Cowgirl Confident Private and Public Facebook Pages.
