The Natural

There’s a lot of tough competition in the rodeo arena—from the man behind the microphone to the cowboys and cowgirls that ride, rope, and climb on the bucking stock. The Natural puts you in the boots of famed rodeo announcer Brad Turner, racing his horse Golden Boy into the arena and welcoming the crowd to a pro rodeo performance in Jackson, Mississippi. You’ll hit the road with Brad as he criss-crosses the country struggling with life, love, and business on the pro rodeo circuit. You’ll meet Zola Johns, the rebellious, barrel racing beauty with her eye on the prize of winning a national championship, and Shoat Krammer, the young rough-and-tumble rookie that’s the real natural coming up the hard way.



Tough, gritty, and written with the authenticity of a lifelong rodeo veteran, two-time Spur Award-winning author Dusty Richards tells a tale so real, you’ll be dusting the dirt from the arena off your Wranglers before you’re done.
