If you are a part of ranch life in any capacity, you understand that it's always demanding. There are always things to be done, fixed, or implemented. And, even in "down time," much time is spent preparing for the busyness to start all over again.

It is in that same spirit and understanding that Cheyenne delivers this short but important announcement to her audience!

She has decided to press pause to take care of her mind, body, and spirit as well as her responsibilities during this very busy time.  And hopefully, she'll inspire others to give themselves permission to do the same!!

Who is Cheyenne Wilson?

Cheyenne was fortunate to grow up on her family's working cattle ranch in southeastern Montana. This is where her intense love of horses and cattle began. She also learned to love and respect the land from a very young age. She runs black Angus cattle and raises half-draft horses with her husband and son. Their place is known as the Lazy Six Nine Ranch. Cheyenne is also an enrolled member of the Oglala Lakota Sioux tribe. She and her family reside and ranch on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. They also spend time in Montana in the Beartooth Mountains.

Cheyenne strives daily to spread positivity and awareness of modern-day ranching. One of her passions is empowering women involved in agriculture to live life at a higher level. She strives to perpetuate the ever-evolving role of women in agriculture through her blog (The Native Cowgirl), public speaking, photography, and social media outlets.

She loves helping rural entrepreneurs level up in what they are passionate about. This includes updating company branding, amplifying social media platforms, increasing website traffic, one-on-one coaching for business/personal growth, etc.

She has been able to build her business from the ground up earning 7-figures in only three years -- in the middle of nowhere.

She always says, "If I can do this, you can too!"

Sometimes you meet someone and you just know that you're going to be great friends! And that is exactly what happened when Cheyenne met Phyllis Burchett. They were like kindred spirits from the start!

Prior to launching into photography, Phyllis was a horse trainer and breeding-farm manager. She primarily showed Appaloosas where she won Appaloosa World and National Championships along with several Honor Rolls. She trained horses for my amateur and youth clients who went on to win several titles as well.

After her show career, Phyllis managed an equine breeding farm where she was in charge of all aspects of the Artificial Insemination Program from collection to breeding.

Then, she was bitten by the photography bug, and a severe case of wanderlust, She has traveled the Earth capturing the amazing creatures that inhabit the world with us. And she continues to work one-on-one with clients to create custom artwork that they will treasure for a lifetime.

Sometimes raw talent is something that isn't discovered until we step out of our comfort zone and try something new! In today's podcast, Cheyenne interviews Erica Mannix, to discuss her time on the ranch and how she fills her time outside of ranchwork.

Erica Mannix is one of 5 members of the 5th generation currently working on the Mannix Ranch in Helmville, MT. The ranch is currently managed by members of both the 4th and 5th generation and is currently working through the process of succession. It is largely a cow-calf and stocker operation in addition to growing a direct-to-consumer meat brand called Mannix Family Grass-Finished Beef. Erica moved back to the ranch two and a half years ago after years of attending undergrad and graduate school, working as an elementary teacher, training horses, and working as a Holistic Ranch Management intern. She now works about ¾ time for the family ranch, works part-time for the Quivira Coalition’s New Agrarian Program doing workshop and education coordination, and fills her remaining hours with custom leatherwork.

What do a pen and equine bodywork have in common? 

After listening to today's podcast, you'll understand that both are a bit of magic created by the hands of Cheyenne's guest, Kaycee Monnens.

She’s constantly on the road, always reading at least five books at a time, and loves to dabble in the kitchen when she has time (although she says her fiancé is a far superior cook).

Her hobbies include roping, helping out on the ranch, watching British television, visiting museums, and walking with her Corgi, Izzy. 

She regularly works on equine world champions, up-and-comers, and cowboys' best using horses. Trained by experts in the field, she offers a comprehensive session to each unique horse: stretching, deep massage, and overall mobility. No part of the horse is overlooked in each session.

Kelly Altschwager is an ACE Certified Personal Trainer, Nutrition Coach, and Performance and Rider Fitness Specialist.

After years in the performance horse world and fitness industry, she noticed a common recurring trend; the majority of horse owners and competitors were investing incredible amounts of time and money on their horses’ training, feed, tack, and overall wellbeing… but they weren’t doing the same for themselves.

From that realization, Western Workouts was born. The Western Workouts experience is rooted in one-on-one coaching and customized programs, not the traditional step-and-repeat, cookie-cutter plans you may be accustomed to. Instead, you’ll receive a blueprint for building confidence and success in all aspects of life.

In today's podcast, you'll learn more about Kelly, her mindset, and her business!

In this podcast episode, Cheyenne interviews creative cowgirls, Skye Ogilvie and Blue Borton.

Skye Ogilvie is the cowgirl behind Cielo Cinches.  She grew up in Western Montana where horses were her family’s livelihood.

In 1994, with the assistance of my friend, Rebecca Morgan-Albertson, she built her first cinch. She was only a teenager at the time,  but she fell in love with mohair back then. Some 17 years later, she was approached by Rebecca to film her cinch-making DVD. By the time filming was complete, she had made up her mind that custom cinch making is what she wanted to pursue.

Now, she builds custom breast collars and cinches for NFR qualifiers and Quarter Horse World finalists, to everyday working cowboys. She believes every horse and rider deserves comfortable, well-fitting gear that expresses their personality and benefits their horsemanship journey!

Blue Borton lives on a ranch in Western South Dakota with her husband, Cory and a Basset Hound named Patsy. They stay busy most of the year caring for Angus cows and training horses. 

Blue says that she inherited her creative genes from her grandmother, Elva, who was a child of the Depression and had an appreciation of beautiful things. She knew that you could make do, reuse, and recycle before it was the trendy thing to do. She loved fine clothing and developed her skills to sew a Vogue pattern to perfection. 

Blue appreciates items with memories and heritage. Patching a rip in your favorite pair of jeans with a stylish yet useful patch or bringing your grandfather's jacket into a piece that you can call your own. 

She prides herself that every piece she creates is truly one of a kind! Check out her Out of the Blue creations.

In this podcast, Cheyenne interviews wearable art maker, Kailey Klein. 

Kailey is a western creative, cowboy gal, mama, and ranch wife.  She loves old turquoise, tooled leather, tacos, and good cow ponies -- and, of course, her business Magpie West Leather Co.

Magpie West Leather Co. was born in a little ranch house on the outskirts of a Oregon college town. Her working cowboy boyfriend (now husband) brought home some leather scraps and a rose stamp after work one day and said, "here, you're an artist, I thought you'd like this".  A couple of hours later, she had built her first set of spur straps. It was the useful outlet for her artwork that she'd been seeking for years! She said that once she'd created her first purse, she was hooked!!

Check out Magpie West Leather Co. to learn more about Kaylie and to see her beautiful collections!!
