Cowgirls?

Posted in Thoughts and Essays
I've been a-thinkin' about something...

Why is it that girls who love horses are called cowgirls, whereas girls who love cows are just... girls who love cows. Why aren't we called cowgirls and they called horsegirls?

Just wondering...

Hi! Just stopping by to return your "Hello!" It's neat to meet other military families. My folks were both Army with one set of grandparents being in the mil as well! I only married into it! On a different note, you do post an interesting question here. As to why girls who love horses are not called "horsegirls", I don't know... it does sound funny though, eh? But then, cowgirls are generally ones who "chase" the cow (roping, etc) so would a horsegirl then be one who "chases" horses? I can't think of a comparable activity for that one though! Have a great day!!! :)
