COWGIRL SHOOTER

By Ken Amorosano Kenda Lenseigne dared to beat the boys to become the first female Cowboy Mounted Shooting World Champion.

MOUNTED SHOOTING

There are very few timed events in the equine sports world where men and women share the stage.

WORLD CHAMPION

Cowboy Mounted Shooting is a mixed gender sport which has clear divisions for men and women—with one exception—only one winner emerges as the overall world champion.

THE REAL DEAL!

Kenda Lenseigne is a World Champion Mounted Shooter, and one of the very few female competitors who demands the opposite sex bring their big-boy game whenever she enters the arena.

SINGLE ACTION REVOLVERS

Competitors use two westerns style, single action revolvers that shoot blank ammunition whose burning black powder embers burst the balloon targets.

FASTEST TIME WINS

The rider and horse with the fastest time and the least amount of missed targets wins.

SHE DARED TO BEAT THE BOYS

At the 2009 CMSA World Championships, Kenda became the first woman to win the World Championship title

Kenda Lenseigne remains on top of the mounted shooting world to this day and is at once threat to competitors and an inspiration.
