Cowgirls
23:00 min
Sarah Briggs & Anna Carrol
USA

American folklore is anchored by legends of the frontier and the men who tamed it. The cowboy is iconic — we see him in John Wayne, the Marlboro man, the hero who rides into the sunset. But there is a glaring absence in the cultural documentation of the American West … what about the cowgirl?

Our vision is to create a documentary about Claudia Ogilvie and Patti Hayes, two cowgirls who over fifty years of riding horses and working together in the stock industry of the West have formed a life-long friendship. These two women grew up doing anything that a cowboy could do and oftentimes doing it better.

Justin Koehler
USA

American cowboy Casey Tibbs, a nine-time world champion who left home at the age of 13 in 1942 due to his father’s disdain of rodeo, had a rags-to-riches life after his groundbreaking spurring lick was developed and he was launched to stardom.
