Chris LeDoux is a hero to anyone who truly admires rodeo and/or country music. This book, while not the best piece of writing you will find, is a lot of fun and shows the trials Chris went through to achieve his goal of being a World Champion.

You won't be sitting on the edge of your seat and the twists and turns won't be keeping you up late at night flipping pages but, put simply, it's just a nice and simple country story about someone who has a dream and didn't give up until he achieved it.

A true American Hero, Chris Ledoux was a Champion Bronc Rider, a poet, and one of the last true cowboys. This book is about living free on the rodeo trail with really nothing to worry about except getting that next bronc rode for eight seconds so you can get a meal, and to the next rodeo. Chris takes you along the trail as he quarrels with hippies, broncs and anything else that came along to change his heritage.

A man to look up to…

Love this biography of Chris LeDoux. It brought the reader right into the arena. Next we are off to a concert. Most of all, this highlights the kind of man Chris LeDoux was-a role model, someone to look up to. Well done, cowboy.
