Four Minutes With On The Dot

Here’s a fun piece of trivia for you: In the heyday of cowboys, in the early 1900s, one of the best lassoing and roping cowboys was, well, actually a cowgirl! Her name was Lucille Mulhall, and at just 14, she was so good at cowgirling that she was invited to compete in a Rough Riders rodeo, with Teddy Roosevelt cheering her on, no less. After taking first place, Lucille went on to create her own touring show. While many embraced her, the media wasn’t sure what to call her. While her skills often exceeded those of cowboys, at least one newspaper referred to her as the “lassoer in lingerie,” even though she was quite clothed. This got me thinking that women have even tougher skin when we’re pursuing exactly what we want. This cowgirl just wanted to ride a horse instead of sipping a dainty cup of tea. And despite others’ opinions, she more than proved her mettle. Today, take Lucille’s story as a little inspiration. Rally your inner cowgirl and trot your own way!
