The first week of June, six cowboys will trade the view between their horse’s ears for a webcam and a computer screen, if only temporarily. The inaugural, web-based Cowboy Champions Summit will run June 1-6, 2015 and will feature instructors from various disciplines of western riding and rodeo.

Announcing Cowboy Champions Summit

The inaugural, web-based Cowboy Champions Summit will run June 1-6, 2015 and will feature instructors from various disciplines of western riding and rodeo.

“The focus is on encouraging novice to intermediate western riders to improve their skills, build confidence and have more fun with their horses and other western lifestyle activities they are involved in,” said organizer, Alyssa Barnes. “Not everyone has access to top instructors in their own backyards, so I wanted to bring the instruction to them.” Speakers will share their personal stories and success tips, giving attendees ideas to consider and test out after the summit ends.

The Cowboy Champions Summit will run over the course of six days with a new interview session released each day, just as many people are gearing up for summertime horse-related activities . The initial kickoff session on June 1^st will feature a live presentation and Q&A with professional female saddle bronc rider, Kaila Mussell.

The summit sessions are free to watch during the initial kickoff week, and lifetime access of both audio and video recordings is available to purchase. For more information and to register:  Cowboy Champions Summit .
