Amy Wilson is on the newest episode of The Breakdown Podcast to discuss her new career at Equine Network, her past media excellence and hopes for 2024 competition with her personal horses.

Wilson is a well-known face in Western media circles for her 11-year career on television and radio. But Wilson’s road to media royalty wasn’t as easy as one would think.

Crowned Miss Rodeo America, Amy spent a year being the face of the rodeo industry before returning home to work three jobs while searching for a new opportunity promoting rodeo and agriculture. After constantly putting herself out there, she was hired on by RFD-TV and moved to Omaha.

This episode is brought to you by Fast Back Ropes. Fast Back Ropes was created in 1995 with a single mission in mind – to build the best rope on the market. And That will always be their number one goal.

Fast Back focuses on building the best product possible and treating customers with the respect they deserve… and That philosophy has served them well for nearly 30 years.

Besides being a great company, Fast Back features two ropes breakaway ropers love.

  • The ‘Edge’ is a four-strand calf rope made of texturized poly. This rope is durable, meaning it stands up in all conditions.
  • Their other rope is ‘Athena,’ which is made exclusively for breakaway ropers. It’s pink with a purple poly core that gives enhanced tip weight and durability. It’s made for all conditions and delivers a snappy loop and close.
