Cindy a.k.a. Rodeo is a personal trainer from Newnan, Georgia. She collects swords, sometimes wears a cowboy hat in bed and is mother to a seven year old son.

Rodeo started out strong on Rock of Love , earning spots on the show's early group dates with Bret Michaels by winning challenges that include one where they were told to engage Bret in phone sex.  However, as the competition progressed, she began to miss her son dearly, causing her to become highly emotional.  For the song lyrics-writing challenge, she and partner Mia ended up performing a song that reflected Rodeo's desire to see her son.

Towards the end of Rock of Love's fourth episode, Bret decided to send Rodeo home, saying that she needs to be with her child.  As a parting gift, Bret gave her his custom-made cowboy hat.

Rodeo has been quite busy since she left Rock of Love.  Aside from making various public appearances and carrying out hosting gigs, she has been working on a workout DVD called Rodeo's Legs of Steel, and launched an organic barbecue sauce, which she promoted on the show's reunion special.

Born Cindy Steedle on Atlanta, Georgia, Rodeo is a personal trainer from Newman, Georgia. She collects swords, sometimes wears a cowboy hat in bed and is mother to a seven year old son. She is also a fitness model and a figure competitor. Her hobbies include dirt bike-riding, horseback-riding, deep-sea fishing, playing golf, driving fast cars, chilling on the beach, walking up mountain trails, camping, chilling, and listening to soft music. She considers herself the sporty kind and would engage in any kind of sport.

In 2006, Rodeo was cast on the VH1 reality show Rock of Love which featured heavy metal rock group Poison’s frontman, Bret Michaels, as he chooses a romantic partner from among 25 ladies. She started out strong, clicking instantly with Michaels because of a shared chemistry together. As the show continued, however, she began to miss her son dearly, which resulted to several instances when she cried. For the song lyrics-writing challenge, she and partner Mia even made a song displaying Rodeo's desire to see her son. Hence, Bret decided to end her suffering by sending her home on the fourth episode. He even got her a custom-made cowboy hat as a prating gift. There are those who say, however, that Rodeo was sent home because she wasn’t as young as majority of the girls were, as she was already on her 40s.

After Rock of Love, Rodeo had been actively promoting a line of products promoting the kind of healthy lifestyle that she leads. Other than various public appearances and hosting gigs, she has been working on a workout DVD called Rodeo's Legs of Steel, a workout video, an organic barbecue sauce, and a much-anticipated book that, she said, put together her several years of work in fitness and nutrition.

Rodeo is one of the 25 contestants in the VH1 reality show I Love Money, which features returning contestants past VH1 reality shows such as Flavor of Love, I Love New York, and Rock of Love with Bret Michaels. The 25 compete in physical and mental challenges en route to a grand prize of $250,000.
