Cowgirl Fall Roundup: Ride and Reel

September 11 – 14, 2026

Adventures in the Saddle and Along the River

There’s a little cowgirl in all of us, whether we live in Montana or on Madison Avenue. That’s why we love celebrating the horsewomen among us, the ones who take the reins, push boundaries, and inspire us with their can-do attitudes and awesome determination.

We’ve been rounding up our favorite cowgirls every spring for nearly a decade, and our unbridled enthusiasm for these horse-backing heroines has led us to add another event in the fall. Now, you can ride and fly fish along with these legendary women in the crisp air and golden glow of autumn in Montana.

Experience a thrilling rush of adrenaline as you saddle up for exhilarating equestrian adventures, and find your inner peace as you fly fish along Montana’s tranquil rivers. Join us for a one-of-a-kind, three-day journey alongside Cowgirl Hall of Famers that will leave you feeling both energized and centered.
