Hearts of the West
FOUR HEARTS RUN FREE...
AND CAPTURE FEARLESS FREEDOM.

Four young, phenomenal sisters that are true cowgirls with exceptional horsemanship skills.

Kaitlynn, Sisko, Taylor and Korrie have grown up on horseback and over the past couple of years have developed a trick riding show that is packed full of speed and excitement. You will be amazed that these four sisters, from eight to thirteen years old, can be so in tune with their horses and each other! They are the only four sisters to develop such a show anywhere. They'll perform for you, carry your sponsor flags, turn back cattle and then compete in your rodeo events! Fantastic!

If you missed them at the Calgary Stampede, Rockyford Rodeo, Edmonton Farm Fair, Strathmore Heritage Days, Oklahoma State or any of their other shows the past couple of years — now's your chance! If you did see them, you know you want to see them again!

The Hearts of the West — The Stewart Sisters are booking their 2008 Rodeo and Fair season now. Please do give them a call at (403) 734-3347, you'll be very pleased.
