77. A New Chapter for Mesa Pate and Art of the Cowgirl

I’m honored to have Mesa Pate with us today. Mesa is a true cowgirl in every sense of the word. In today’s episode we talk about Mesa’s unique upbringing on a multi-generational ranch in Montana as well as all the traveling her rodeo family did. Mesa shares about her deeply close relationship with her mom, Tammy Pate. Together, they created Art of the Cowgirl.Mesa also shares the changes and challenges she faced selling Art of the Cowgirl, as she became a mom and, sadly, lost her own mom just last year. We talk all things Art of the Cowgirl with its new owners and the different educational programming, workshops, trade shows, horse shows, ranch rodeo, and horse sales it has to offer. Mesa’s wisdom at such a young age shines in this episode you don’t want to miss.
