‘I’m a ʙικιɴι cowgirl – trolls can be cruel but I love making people smile’

A woman was branded “ʙικιɴι cowgirl” when she started posting glam snaps online.

Storm Hogan, 19, typically wears jeans and a shirt while she’s at the rodeo.

She often competes in track riding and barrel races, which involve weaving around barrels with your horse as quickly as possible.

But when she’s not hard at work, she enjoys kicking back by wearing swimwear.

The Australian influencer told 7Life: “I don’t actually wear a ʙικιɴι when I’m riding horses. I do it after work ‘cause it’s so H๏τ.”

Storm, who has been riding horses since she was eight, often takes pictures and videos of her ʙικιɴι looks “after hours”.

And it’s safe to say her fans love them.

She said: “It makes me happy, and I know it makes a lot of people smile, and that’s my goal.”

Many even credit the teenager for getting them into rodeo activities.

She said: “The amount of love and support I’ve seen from people is amazing, it’s so great.

“These are just complete strangers… and it makes me so happy.”

Storm has garnered more than 102,500 TikTok fans and 16,800 followers on Instagram.

But her time in the spotlight hasn’t all been positive.

The content creator admits she’s been targeted by trolls in recent months.

While this can be difficult to deal with, she tries not to let them hold her back.

Instead, Storm focuses on her six horses – Sandy AKA Golden Girl, Nobel, Elvis, Malibu, Starlight and Donny.

She loves gaining the horses’ trust, exercising them and taking care of them with regular grooming.

And the influencer juggles her rodeo career with running her own clothing brand called Bulls Broncs & Barrels Apparel.

She hopes her videos will inspire others to get into riding too.
