SMART BUYS 13 Essentials for the Active Cowgirl By Rhiannon Deremo | September 8, 2017 Share These 13 items will keep you feeling fresh and fabulous, even if it’s just feedbags you’ve been lifting.. Let’s be honest here, it’s hard to get motivated to go to the gym. But having these must-have items will make it that much easier to find the gusto to get there and will keep you comfortable and happy while you’re putting in the work. Our favorite thing about all of these items is that all are just straight handy for cowgirls to have, even if you’re not a gym goer (we see you feed bag-throwing, hay-baling, fence-repairing gals). So go on, check out our faves and if there’s something you think we missed let us know in the comments! Well you have to have a cute gym bag to put all this cool stuff in, right?
