Gooch says one of the Ausgust queen even in the midst of my storm I see God shirt Besides,I will do this most common questions she receives is “why identify as a Black cowgirl?” instead of just calling herself a “regular” cowgirl. She laughs a bit before elaborating. “I say Black cowgirl because it needs to be stated, people need to be reminded that there are certainly Black folks who ride horses, and who are equestrians. It sounds silly to state it so obviously but if you open any major horse or equestrian magazine you probably won’t see any Black people shown riding horses. You mainly see white people in fancy clothes with expensive gear doing what I’ve been doing essentially my whole life. Representation, even at the barest minimum, really matters, especially for kids,” she explains. The sport’s history of exclusion can be reflected in its gear: Gooch notes the need for helmets that accommodate textured hair, for example.
