Minnesota Horse Expo PRCA Rodeo Performances in the Coliseum

What will you see at the Minnesota Horse Expo Dodge PRCA Rodeo?

The seven standard competitions at a PRCA (Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association) rodeo are Saddle Bronc Riding, Bareback Riding, Bull Riding,Tie Down Roping, Steer Wrestling, Team Roping and Barrel Racing. The first three events - Saddle Bronc Riding, Bareback Riding and Bull Riding - are considered "roughstock" events.The cowboy's score is equally dependent on not only his performance, but also the animal's performance.The other competitions are timed events, which means the cowboy (or cowgirl, for the Barrel Racing) compete against the clock, as well as each other.

  

Jerry Wayne Olson - Rodeo Specialty Act

Jerry Wayne Olson was born in Sturgis, South Dakota.  From trick roping to his amazing acts with his horses, Justin Boots (a.k.a. JB) and Bucko, Jerry entertains with character and class. He has performed in some of the most elite entertainment venues across the nation and has been honored with numerous awards. Jerry has performed on stage with Ted Nugent, appeared at Madison Square Garden, and has been honored 10 times with the top 5 PRCA Specialty Acts of the Year award.

Through many dedicated hours of training and bonding, Jerry has perfected his act with JB. Saddle, bridle and rider free - JB reacts to Jerry through voice and hand commands and provides a top-notch performance. Scout may be a miniature horse, but his attitude and acts don't fall short of the crowd's expectations. From fetching Jerry's hat to walking on his hind legs and then formally bowing to the crowd, Scout proves time and time again the "size doesn't matter".

Jerry continues to astonish crowds of all ages with his trick roping abilities. He provides a variety of "stunts" as he begins with a basic butterfly and progresses to the most difficult lariat trick - the Texas Skip. Jerry also spins up a man-sized vertical-loop spinning at a blinding 180 RPM.   Visit Jerry's website www.olsonacts.com for video of JB and Jerry performing.
