Will I seize control of my destiny today, or be the one getting dragged along w***y nilly?
For reals though, the tail drag is a seriously difficult and dangerous trick move. All kudos to her!

What WE are thankful for this thanksgiving season❤️❤️❤️
Couldn’t be more thankful for the horses we have underneath us, because we wouldn’t be able to do what we do without our animal athletes /teammates. They carry us from arena to arena and try their hardest time and time again running strong and true.🐴
We are so thankful for our team of ladies these past couple of years growing, performing and putting up with eachother when we’re on the road for months at a time. They’re always looking to try something new, taking every obstacle in stride, constantly having a good attitude and staying sharp.💫
We are so so so grateful for the opportunity to teach the up-coming generations of rodeo entertainment and are privileged to be able to share our knowledge with others and pass it down to those who share the same interests as us and want to learn.💞
And finally we wouldn’t be where we are today without the spectacular opportunity’s to perform at some of the biggest rodeos in association history and will constantly be thankful for all of those who have gone to great lengths for us in order to get this far.🍀
Happy Thanksgiving everyone 🙏🏼🦃

We are so excited to share this honor of our Executive Director, Jennifer Nicholson! She is our fearless leader and is so well deserving of this national award! Thank you to the Rodeo Hall of Fame for everything and we will see you in Oklahoma City! 🎉🎉🎉
Join us in congratulating Jennifer Welch Nicholson, the 2023 Tad Lucas Award honoree!
Born near Redding, California, Jennifer Welch Nicholson was 9 when she first attended Riata Ranch International, an equine school founded in Exeter, California. Though Nicholson initially gravitated toward reining horse competition, in 1976 Riata Ranch owner Tommy Maier established the Riata Ranch Cowboy Girls, a trick-riding troupe that initially consisted of Nicholson and three other 13-year-olds. The Cowboy Girls soon appeared at major rodeos throughout the U.S., and by the early ‘80s were touring Europe. In the Cowboy Girls’ nearly five decades of performing, the troupe has visited 22 countries and performed for Queen Elizabeth. When Maier died in 2002, Riata Ranch was facing financial ruin. Nicholson knew she had to act, so she became Executive Director of Riata Ranch, moved operations to Three Rivers, California, and got the ranch back on firm financial footing. Things were good until 2019, when Nicholson’s husband Chad, a much-loved rodeo announcer, died; a year later, Nicholson lost her father and COVID-19 struck. Yet Nicholson persevered through it all. Today, Riata Ranch International is still teaching kids the Western lifestyle, and the Cowboy Girls are still amazing audiences.
