"I am thrilled to be joining The Cowgirl Channel and to work with some incredible women," said Laflin. "My heart has always been with horses and the western culture, so it feels good to get back to my roots. I hope people will tune in because we are doing something really special and raising the awareness of women in western sports."
Laflin has several firsts in her career. She is the first and only female NBA scout, holding an executive position with the Los Angeles Lakers. She is the first to dance on a professional level for three teams in two sports, starting with the NBA and the Golden State Warriors and moving to the NFL with both the San Francisco 49ers and the Dallas Cowboys. She is also the first female to be awarded six championship rings in two professional sports, earning a Super Bowl ring while cheering for the 49ers and five NBA championships during her time with the Lakers.
"Bonnie Jill's passion for the western lifestyle has been most impressive," said Patrick Gottsch, founder of Rural Media Group. "Her long-time advocacy for women's sports makes Bonnie-Jill the absolute perfect fit to anchor our new Cowgirl Channel and its original programming."
Laflin is also a competitive barrel racer, and recently created her own rodeo drill and flag team, The Liberty Belles, and is a member of the Alameda County Sheriff's Mounted Posse. She and her beautiful mare, Elsa Rae, were selected to ride in the 2023 Rose Bowl Parade. Devoted to giving back through her own non-profit Hounds and Heroes and Horses, Laflin matches shelter dogs with combat veterans and rescues horses for equine therapy for disabled veterans.
