Welcome to the Club: The Story Behind Lonely Cowgirls Club

It all started with a sweatshirt and a longing for connection. After a relationship ended, I found myself re-evaluating what brought me joy and comfort. Growing up, I loved horseback riding, the sense of adventure, and the friendships that came with it. But living in the city, I missed that part of my life.

In a moment of inspiration, I created my first design, “Chicago Needs More Cowboys.” What started as a playful nod to my cowboy "type" turned into something much bigger. When I wore the sweatshirt out and shared it on social media, I was overwhelmed by the response. It wasn’t just me—there were so many women craving connection, adventure, and a touch of the country lifestyle.

That spark led to Lonely Cowgirls Club, a community where women from all walks of life come together through trail rides, events, and our signature merch. It’s not just about the horses (though they’re a big part of it). It’s about building friendships, finding your crew, and creating unforgettable experiences.

In August 2024, I hosted our first trail ride. I was nervous—what if no one showed up? But the response was incredible, and we sold out, not just once but three times. That’s when I knew Lonely Cowgirls Club was something special.

Now, we’re dreaming bigger. From trail rides across the country, pop-ups at your favorite country bars to retreats that reconnect us with nature and each other, the journey is just beginning.

Thank you for being part of this adventure. Whether you’re here for the merch, the rides, or the friendships, you’ve found your crew.

XO,
Mads
