Outside of North America, the Wild West invokes images of line dancing and country music; Clint Eastwood and John Wayne. But to 36-year-old Irish-born firefighter, Gareth Boyd, the Wild West means so much more. Gareth likes to ride bulls. Big bulls. Not for the faint-hearted, this is rough stock riding – the most dangerous event in the rodeo – where the aim is to stay bareback on a bull for 8 seconds.

'Wild West Dream' follows the story of this Northern Irish firefighter and cowboy wannabe as he makes a bid to follow his dream and compete in the death-defying sport of bull-riding on the world famous Canadian Rodeo circuit.
