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.
Loy Gordon, owner of Neir's Tavern, joined Cheddar News to discuss how he saved the establishment three times and why he did so. Gordon also showed Cheddar News some specialty drinks that patrons can enjoy.
To celebrate Black-Owned Business Month, Cheddar News visited Neir's Tavern in Queens, one of the city's oldest taverns where the Martin Scorsese film "Goodfellas" was filmed. Loy Gordon, the bar's owner, discussed the history behind the establishment.
