Rusty Rae Quam comes to Ontario The Winningest Futurity Champion in
2013 is Rusty Rae Quam who lives in Wain- right, Alberta. In March, she will be coming east to perform as a Can-Am Equine Expo clinician. Rusty is one of the leading people for starting young horses and developing world Champion barrel racing horses. Alberta is currently experiencing minus 37 degree weather and while being interviewed for this article, Rusty Quam said she is so looking for- ward to her trip to Ontario. We told her our snow was extremely deep but at least it should be warmer here. Rusty would have had trouble choosing
any other occupation. She was born into a rodeo contracting family with a horse-training background and had been on the back of a horse her whole life. From day one, she and her brother, Cain, lived in a trailer with their parents, traveling the rodeo circuit or traipsing along side their mother doing barrel clinics. Her father, Barry Quam ran a suc- cessful stock contracting business, while mom, Sherry, is a past CCA Champion and Pro Circuit Champion. So, it seems she was slated to be the best and she qualified for her first Manitoba Rodeo Cowboys Association
finals when she was just 8 years old. She followed this with qualifying for numerous finals, setting CCA records, and winning many championships. Rusty has now dedicated her time to training and selling barrel horses full time and going to futurities and rodeos. We welcome her to Ontario and Can-Am and encourage you to come see her clinic.
