My name is Madison Schalla! I have been Trick riding
since the age of 8 and I am now 22!! I have performed all across the
country at all sorts of events and I have even performed for Reba
McEntire!
I actually grew up in a rodeo
family, my dad was a professional bull rider and saddle bronc rider and
my brother Wacey Schalla is now one of the top professional bull riders
and bareback riders in the PRCA! When I’m
not traveling the country trick riding I spend my time training barrel
racing horses and also teaching the next generation of trick riders!!

Coming with me to St. Paul is Edyn Blum. She is a 18 year old from
Costa Mesa, California. She actually grew up surfing, but decided to
shift her love to horses and trick riding! She learned the art of
trick riding and trick roping from the famous Riata Ranch in California. She has worked some of the best rodeos in the industry with them! This
year she now finds herself traveling the US, trick riding with other PRCA
trick riders, working hard to make a name for her self, hoping to accomplish even bigger dreams!!
These two will perform an act that includes a super action filled
performance with high speeds! They do an act that incorporates
trick roping and gymnastics horseback while their horses are flying
around the arena!

Shawn
Boom Boom Thompson, of Sidney, IA, has been entertaining rodeo crowds
all over the United States for the last 30 years. His career began in
his senior year of high school when a teacher asked him what he wanted
to do after graduation. He immediately spouted off the funniest, dumbest
thing he could think of and said that he wanted to be a rodeo clown.
What was meant as a joke or so he thought, turned into him getting a
phone call and was invited to attend a 3 day bullfighting school. He
took that invitation and has been hooked ever since. Boom Boom not only
embodies a huge,happy-go-lucky redneck character in the rodeo arena,
but he also has an abundance of vibrant comedy, rodeo acts with pyrotechnic finales. Boom Boom feels very fortunate to be able to
showcase his skills to rodeo enthusiasts around the country,as he truly
believes that laughter is the key to happiness.

Giggle,
laugh, cry and hold your breath. That's just some of what you will be
doing when you see award winning Rodeo Clown Shawn “BoomBoom” Thompson in
action. With his wireless mic and many props. he is a crowd pleaser. Boom Boom also has many special guest appearances in his acts such as
Dolly Parton, David Copperfield and Cody Johnson, just to name a few.
Shawn Boom Boom Thompson enjoys making people laugh and it shows. Shawn
says after becoming a cancer survivor, he looks at comedy as a must in
life. Yes, a Cancer survivor. In 2002, Boom Boom was diagnosed with
NON-Hodgkin's Lymphoma(cancer). After treatments of Chemotherapy and
some trying times in his life, Shawn believes he is here today to make
crowds all over see the joy in living and what a better way to do it
than in the arena of hooves, humps and horns. (Rodeo)

Kelly Kenney - Rodeo Announcer
Kenney was born and raised in small town America where
his family has resided for many generations, in Southwest Missouri. There, the
priorities were family, church, hunting & fishing, sports, agriculture, horses, cattle, etc.
Kenney’s interest in rodeo came young and he
started competing in high school, into college while simultaneously playing music in a country band. Ironically, at a local rodeo in 1995, the announcer
‘no showed’ and Kenney reluctantly filled in to help and from there, his
career began. Working many different rodeos over the next few years and becoming the rodeo coach at Missouri Valley College, Kenney received his PRCA
Pro Rodeo Announcer Card in 2000 (at 25 yrs old) and he’s worked between 75-100
performances annually ever since. Now, a PRCA Gold Card Holder, Kenney
maintains a packed schedule of PRCA Rodeo's across the US.
Traveling literally from both oceans to both borders every
year and nearly every midwestern state in between, his love for rodeo and the
respect for rodeo fans is stronger today than ever.
With wife Amanda and now 9 yr old son Kolter,
they still reside in Southwest MO., in the Stockton Lake area on their working cattle ranch, enjoying the ranch and rodeo life.
2025 will mark my 30th year on the road. I realize that I'm
very fortunate to be able to do this for a living and we'll forever be indebted to many folks that have helped us along the way. We've made some
amazing life long friendships and an endless list of memories on the rodeo
trail.
God blessed me with a wonderful wife and son. Amanda
appreciates and respects this lifestyle, she's our rock & the reason we were able to continue our career and start a family at the same time. We have
a lot of 'moving parts' at home with the ranch, cattle, our son Kolter, etc.
and she holds it all together.
This wonderful life wouldn’t be possible without all those
who’ve helped us through the years. The list is long. Seeing and hearing
these awesome rodeo fans love the sport as much as I do, still lights my fire!
We've loved it since day one and still love it today. We're beyond grateful
and humbled by it all.” says Kenney.
