Hi Friend & Welcome to the Cowgirl Confessions Podcast! I'm sure glad you're here.  On this episode, Air National Guard Tech Sergeant & All American Cowgirl Trisha Shields shares her passion for lifelong learning, horses and how joining the military fresh out of high school has been a tremendous blessing in her life. Trisha & her husband DJ call Oklahoma home & she also shares how they juggle " all the irons in the fire" & goal setting together for what they want to achieve both in & out of the arena. Trisha has had so many unique experiences within the equine industry from being on a collegiate equestrian team, carrying flags at the WNFR, competing in Mustang Makeover competitions, serving as Miss Rodeo USA 2012, working for a spell at the International Professional Rodeo Association, hosting horsemanship clinics, and now honing in on raising, training & competing on her own string of barrel horses.

Subscribe to make sure you don’t miss an episode. New episodes will be released bimonthly. Please leave us a review if you feel so led by going to I tunes.  Your feedback will really help us breath the idea of grabbing life by the horns with a COWGIRL STATE OF MIND into women across the globe, some that may have never even had the privilege to throw their leg over a horse but could most certainly use the cowgirl state of mind while navigating life. Until next time, keep pursuing your dreams with that All Go & No Whoa mentality. Remember- You’re writing a story that’s worth saddling up for sister. God Bless, Dakota
