Is based on a true story, which takes place during decades of tremendous social and political upheaval. However, the issues could be ripped from today’s headlines. The four prominent female cowgirls (multi-cultural, multi-ethnic-racial and cross-generational) balance contemporary women’s challenges: career vs. family, fame vs. privacy, friendships vs. competitors, children vs. parents, religion vs. secular beliefs, and the challenges of addictions: drugs, alcohol, substance abuse, gambling and domestic abuse.
She is a cowgirl who overcomes contemporary obstacles (father, family, school, tradition, societal, romantic and friendships) and becomes a world-famous champion in an uniquely American sport. Her addiction to danger, and her belief that she could handle anything and anyone, is her greatest strength and nearly fatal flaw. Like many teenagers, she pushes her single parent to his breaking point. He’s concerned about his daughter’s future; he wants her to complete her education, marry and have children. She wants to own a ranch and compete. When she quits school, her furious father sends her away to boarding school. She quits school, runs away and joins a traveling Wild West Show. When the show fails, and the owner steals the monetary prizes, she is abandoned and alone, until she joins her best friends and mentors on the circuit.
