Courtenay DeHoff, aka the Fancy Lady Cowgirl, is in Australia for the National Cutting Horse Association Futurity event. Thanks to our friends over at The Regional PR Co, we've managed to bring her into The Commons in Sydney to share her story with our Aussie audience.
In this conversation we explore her upbringing as a local Kansas cowgirl, when the opportunity came to explore career pathways she was drawn to the bright lights and opportunity of Television.
Her life now has taken her full circle, with a skillset incredibly unique and an outlook that's positive for the Agriculture sector, Courtenay is shaping the narrative that Agriculture is diverse, it is inclusive and no matter who you are or where you're from, you can pursue a career in this incredible sector.
We also talk about:
- the courage to embrace her inner cowgirl
- her mission to welcome others into the cowgirl/cowboy lifestyle
- The importance of pursuing your true calling
- The influence of pop culture on the perception of agriculture and the challenges and opportunities if the industry embraces it

Podcast sponsor - Boarding Schools Expo
This week’s episode sponsor is the Boarding Schools Expo. Amanda and her team have been helping country kids and their families transition to boarding school life for 20 years.
They believe in equity of access to choice, options, and opportunities for children’s education. They take a practical approach based on the saying “you don’t know what you don’t know” to help you get across what you need to know.
They have a busy July with a pop-up in Moree on the 25th of July and then a weekend in Tamworth on the 26th and 27th of July. If you or someone you know wants to find out more - tell them to get along!!
