Cowgirl Up
"You have horses, cowboys, bucking bulls, barrel racing, romance and a young cowgirl far
ahead of her time--what more could a fan of the American West ask for?"
Shauna Easton, Editor - Women of the West Magazine

"When anyone asked the question, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” I did not have a clue. I hated anything to do with being indoors. Cooking, cleaning, and housework in general were not my idea of excitement. Marriage was not an option I would even consider at the time. While my sisters and friends were chasing boys, I was chasing cows from the back of a horse. I had my old horse, Champ, and for years, we were inseparable. I rode Champ everywhere. We'd traveled the countryside together, riding for hours under the sky. I started showing on him, winning one prize after another in barrel racing and other gaming events. It dawned on me one day when I was about twelve years old what I wanted to be when I grew up: I was going to be a cowgirl.”
From the moment a woman climbed into the saddle and saw the world from the back of a horse, there was no stopping her -- for she knew she was a daughter of the West -- free-spirited ladies on high-stepping horses with a will all their own. This book captures the feminine side of the West and tells of a colorful young lady, Dakota Leigh, who earned the respect of her male counterparts. This vibrant, authentic story salutes the spirit of those daring females who had the courage to follow their dreams. The cowboy may be our most authentic hero from western lore, but the cowgirl is right on his boot heels.”

  Cowrirl Up
A Fiction Novel
"Cowgirl Up," a call shouted out from the chutes to let everyone know a rider is about to be released into the arena strapped on the back of a bucking horse, or a bull with a real bad attitude.
Dakota Leigh had a dream that led her to Oklahoma, and a chance meeting with destiny. Having grown up around horses, the kid from Kentucky thought it only natural that her life center on what she
did best, being a cowgirl.
In Oklahoma, at the young age of sixteen, Dakota is offered a job by Joe Thomas, owner of the Four Winds ranch. Impressed with her horsemanship skills, he takes her under his wing and helps make her childhood dreams a reality.
