What folks have to say about their experience at the Watterson Ranch:

"Just wanted to let you know that my sister and I had an awesome time this weekend and for sure want to come back again. The camaraderie and sportsmanship of everyone was awesome. Even though it was a competition, everyone hollered and encourged to help each other was tremendous. It was truly something I haven't had the pleasure to take part in until now. And with this being my first competition against someone besides my sister. We have been going against each other for almost 43 years now. The change was good. Thanks again to you and your family and all your volunteers for a great experience. I know it is a lot of work, but in the end you will reap the rewards of another great event. I write this because I do special events also with my job so I do know what a pleasure or pain they can be." -- from Stacy Westlake, Fulton, Tx (Cowgirl Weekend 2008 Participant)

"Thanks so much Trina. We had an AWESOME time...putting it on the calendar for next year! It was a long ride home with some new bumps and bruises, but we couldn't stop talking about how much fun we had and laughing about all the memories we made. You guys in Texas really know how to do it! Thanks so much....next year we're taking that crown back to Mississippi!" -- from Amanda Patton, Jamie Rasberry & Cindy Rasberry from Mississippi (Cowgirl Weekend 2008 Participants)

"Wow Trina, you are superwoman. You put on the great weekend and then you came home and emailed us and already updated the website with the results. I am glad I came and look forward to next year. I think the playday was a great - addition it gave everyone a chance to participate solo. You have done a great job with this event and seeing how it has grown in national recognition you should be very proud of yourself. Looking forward to future contact with you and thank you for a great weekend." -- from Heather R. Thompson, Point Blank, Tx - Rafter T Equine Services www.raftert.com (Cowgirl Weekend 2008 Participant)

"Yes, I had a WONDERFUL time! Like I told my hubby, no blood & no hospital trips for any of us so it was a good weekend. Thank you again for asking the preacher to put in a word about Delta and the rescue - it really made me feel special - and she is such a special horse! She was sooooo well behaved. I had a great team - I really had to talk Kayla into riding in the tube, but she had a blast & thanked me for "making" her do it. Theresa and Tina - what can I say - they are the best! Both full of encouragement and not upset if things don't go as planned - they are definitely there for the fun. Kudos and thank you to you and your family - as always, it was a top notch deal!" -- from Sarah Kee, Kerville, Tx (Cowgirl Weekend 2008 Participant)

"Once again you've done it! I think it was a great success and I heard alot of positive statements. I liked the Friday playday.

"Just wanted to thank you again for the kind words and time and energy you put into the riding experience. Mom was so excited and so happy. It really boosted her confidence more than you know. I definitley learned some things I'm excited to try as well and hopefully it will make a huge difference... I'm sure we'll want to do the cattle work again too, as we both enjoyed it the most." -- Thanks from Barbara and Dianne (Oct. 2007 visit)

"I had the best time of my life with all the Cowgirls -- was so nice and full of spirit. Oh, I did wonder if I had it in me to do it -- but my 1880's adventure was awesome. I can't wait to do it again - from rounding up the cattle to riding point and opening gates; branding; the campfire and all the jokes. It was so cool.... Thank you for all you have done." -- Dusty , 2007 our 1880's Cattle Queen (Oct. 2007, 1880's Cattle Queen Adventure)

"We had the good fortune to ride at the Watterson Ranch over Labor Day weekend 2007. Their frendly easy ranch style hospitality was comfortable and warm and the ranch itself was great to ride because of the variations in the terrian. There were creeks and grassy pastures,woods and tall pines. There is a very nice over look where many of us had our picture taken. It was challenging enough but easy enough for anyone to ride and the length of the rides were just right and fun was had by all. We really enjoyed the Sunday morning church service out in a filed on horseback! As a bonus we got to watch and even try a little Ranch Sorting. I don't know how good we were but we got hooked! Then to top off the weekend with a fabulous fish fry cooked by Scott himself was fantastic. We enjoyed the facilities and really enjoyed having a water/electric hook-up for our trailer. We can't say enough and we thankyou for opening up your ranch to all of us who love to ride." -- Esther & Norma (Sept. 2007 TETRA Ride)
