An account of seduction, betrayal, and redemption. Like most of us, Michael Anders has a goal. Ever since he was a youngster in junior rodeo, he has dreamed of learning to be a world-champion rodeo cowboy - riding bulls and bareback horses, credit scoring high, winning big buckles, basking in the glory. And now it all seems within his reach. Michael has crammed his permit and is currently a full member of the Professional Relationship of Rodeo Cowboys. So he pieces out on this rodeo run along with his two traveling companions, Kirby Jordan and Jim Ed Sarkos. They start out in Tx, then strike some small shows in western Kansas, and then wind up at the top state good rodeo in New Canaan, Iowa. And that's where Michael hits his groove, establishing arena records and taking the loot. It's also where things start to unravel. Michael discovers - again, like the majority of us - that those glowing expectations and dreams tend to be more than a little tarnished when we get near them. Still, it's a heck of an ride. Jump into the world of pro rodeo cowboys - both good and not-so-good. Feel the arena dirt, style the beer and hotdogs, smell the diesel smoking, and meet the women. It's a wild ride and a rare glance of life behind the chutes. Set anywhere in the later 1970s when PRCA rodeo was probably at its best, Ride On is a novel that handles rodeo, but is also much more. It examines bondage to a goal and a certain kind of redemption. It's a fun, action-packed history that takes a hard, true-to-life look at expert rodeo and rodeo cowboys and the relationships that develop on the way.
