Synopsis

Hang on tight for a true cowboy journey packed with grit, danger, and determination. In What a Ride!, bull rider Terry Holland shares his life in and out of the arena-from the dust, adrenaline, and hard knocks of professional rodeo to the lessons learned beyond the chutes.

With honesty and humor, Holland takes readers behind the scenes of bull riding, where courage is tested every eight seconds and toughness is earned the hard way. Through victories, setbacks, injuries, and triumphs, he reveals the heart of a rodeo cowboy and the resilience it takes to keep climbing back on.
