Meet One of the Women Crashing the Rodeo Circuit's Cowboys' Club
The rodeo circuit has been one of the sporting world's biggest boys' clubs for over a century. That's changing, thanks to women like Duke Wimberly, one of the bronc riders featured on Ride TV's new series "Cowgirls." She tells us how she and her co-stars are shaking up the sport, one daring ride at a time.
This includes some scary moments, like breaking bones after being thrown off the horse. Wimberly explains how she perseveres, and what's going through her head during those harrowing moments. She also gives a sense of how long she plans on continuing in the saddle.
Finally, we put Wimberly to the test in a game that challenges her knowledge of all things equine. In "Little Pony or Bucking Bronco," she has to pick whether names describe characters from "My Little Pony," or award-winning broncos. Find out how she did and, whether her saddle smarts carry over to the classic cartoon.
You might recognize the Wollman Rink in Central Park from its appearances in famous movies like Serendipity and Home Alone 2. And it's also a spot where New Yorkers and visitors flock for some time out on the ice. Andrew Perry, director of operations of Wollman Rink NYC, spoke with Cheddar News about the rink's history, its operations and what to expect when visiting.
The contract agreement reached Wednesday must still be approved by the union's board and its members, but the leadership said actors will be allowed to return to work starting Thursday.
