When it comes to rodeo, many contestants start at a very young age. There are many who will be competing in the mini bareback riding events this year at the Overland Stage Stampede Rodeo, but one of the contestants competing this weekend has already made it to the World Finals in his event. We sat down with 10 year old Jex Terry of McKinnon, Wyoming and asked him a few questions about his involvement in rodeo.
