March is Women’s History Month, so we’re honoring four Cowtown girlies who rode high in their heyday — or, are still riding high today.
These women have lassoed a lot of success. They’ve been featured in the National Cowgirl Museum, the Cowgirl Hall of Fame, and Fort Worth Magazine. Let’s meet our first trailblazing lady.
Molly Thompson | Molly wanted to raise her kids around Western culture, while still experiencing the excitement of a big city. In 1998, she and her husband bought Benbrook Stables. Today, the equestrian center hosts riding lessons, equestrian trail rides, and kids’ camps. She says it’s the “greatest thing of all” to be able to lend the land to others.

Brushing up on these cowgirls’ history really put me in my place. I remember the first time I got on a horse. It was actually a really terrifying experience for me (as a kid, I was scared of most things). I think my dad had to bribe me with money.
