Plot Synopsis

RODEO GIRLS is a one-hour reality series that follows five female barrel racers as they compete in rodeos across America, while confronting tumultuous relationship, pursuing career ambitions on the circuit, and testing their skills against each other. These ladies prove that rodeo life is more than just boots, chaps and spurs. The five featured women are: Darcy 'No Fear' LaPier, a model-turned-rodeo-queen, who brings her grit and determination to each competition; Marvel Murphy, a seasoned rider whose wild past haunts her at every fairground; former champ Barb West, who returns to reclaim her title after getting married and spending two years nesting at home; rookie racer Megan Etcheberry, who grew up on the circuit but needs to win some races; and youth barrel racing champ Jessica Holmberg, who has the skills to compete -- but not always the funds. They're joined by: Ty Murphy, the hot-headed cousin and trainer of Marvel, who is good with horses and bad with women; and Anthony Lucia, a professional stunt roper, who wines and dines more than one cowgirl. RODEO GIRLS had a two-night series premiere: Wednesday, December 11, 2013 at 11pm ET/PT and Thursday, December 12, 2013 at 10pm ET/PT on A&E.
