Pre-production has commenced on the network's eight one-hour episode order, airing in December 2013.After attending rodeos as a spectator with her father in her home state of Oregon, LaPier began her mission to learn barrel-racing after his death and would drive 125 miles one-way up to Washington to work with a trainer.

After leaving her small-town Oregon roots for Hollywood, LaPier quickly became a "Hawaiian Tropic" girl-turned Tabloid favorite, marrying "Hawaiian Tropic" founder Ron Rice, and later action film star, Jean-Claude Van Damme.

After Hughes met a tragic end within a year of their marriage, her love of the equine sports gave her comfort and coping skills during some very difficult years. On her ranch in Oregon with her family, La Pier transformed herself into one of the top 20 award-winning professional rodeo barrel racers in the country.Whether Darcy LaPier is driving her 43 foot long semi-truck to the next rodeo, or parenting her 3 children, she remains the Hottest Cowgirl, a savvy businesswoman and she does it all (just as a pro-barrel racer does).....with grace, skill, and guts. Darcy's daughter, Sterling Rice, is in business college, her son Nicolas Van Damme is following in his parents' footsteps and is going into entertainment, while her younger daughter, Madison, does all the sports: soccer, gymnastics, volleyball and even barrel-racing.
