Overview
Three people‹each on a journey‹and living life eight seconds at a time. Despite ever-present danger, insufficient pay and endless miles down unfamiliar, often unfriendly highways, it¹s a journey they love. Wild Ride! takes readers on the road, into the arena and onto the backs of bucking broncs, hard-running horses and cantankerous bulls in an often funny, sometimes heartbreaking, but always candid look at the lives of a trio of rodeo¹s most successful stars. Barrel racer Monica Wilson, bull rider Kelly Armstrong and saddle bronc rider Duane Daines share their greatest triumphs and darkest hours. While most of us mutter, "Nothing could make me do that," Wild Ride! allows us to understand why these three could never want to do anything else.About the AuthorDavid A. Poulsen combines his two passions‹writing and rodeo‹in Wild Ride! The former bareback rider and rodeo clown has become a premier rodeo announcer and television commentator. He co-hosts the popular television documentary The Complete Rider on the Outdoor Life Network in Canada and the United States. His work includes children¹s, young adult and adult fiction as well as sports biography. Wild Ride! is his twelfth work.
