They watched with awe as cowboys and cowgirls compete in events of precision and skill, like barrel racing and calf roping. Sharing the thrilling moments of hopeful anticipation during the bull and saddle bronc riding, they cheer for the riders who hold their position for as many seconds as possible.

“Most memorable for me, is to have Nya be exposed to all of these strong women that are confident, that are hardworking,” reflects Kara Shapiro. “To show her that anything she wants to do, she’s able to do.”
