and grew up showing at WSCA horse shows. Back then she had one horse and did
all events on that horse from western pleasure to the barrel and pole classes. She then got involved in Little Britches Rodeo and High School Rodeo. Her High
School Rodeo career consisted of competing in Breakaway Roping, Pole Bending,
Barrel Racing, Goat Tying, and Cutting, traveling each year to the finals to
compete with the team from Wisconsin. Tammy began training horses when out of
high school and has continued to train throughout her marriage, raising 2
children and many injuries. Her most recent accomplishments include 9

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.
