Who we are

Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Harli Smith. I was born and raised in rodeo and I still compete myself.

For a year I sat on the idea of starting this magazine. I knew the good it could do for women in the western community if it was as successful as I have dreamed. I decided in May of 2024 that I had nothing to lose. I am the writer, editor, researcher, and marketing. #ByAnyMeans necessary I plan on taking this idea as far as I possibly can.

Why $10 a month? Because the plans need funds and there is power in numbers. My first priority is starting a scholarship fund for high school girls planning on attending college or a trade school. Second, creating an annual event exclusively for women. Barrel racing, pole bending, team roping, breakaway roping, and sorting. All in one place in one week. Lastly, sponsorships and giveaways. Cash, horse trailers, and trucks. The dream is big, but the western community is bigger.

The Western Woman is here to make an impact.
