Gerald Olson (Jerry) was born in London, England. Jerry moved with his family to Colorado in February of 1997. His Mother is British and his Father is a native of Colorado. He and his family own and operate "Eagles Wings Ranch," home of Olson Performance Horses, a horse boarding and training facility. The facility is located just 25 miles east of Denver in the beautiful Rocky Mountain State of Colorado. When Jerry graduated from High School, he was recognized by the National Merit Scholarship Board for having S.A.T. scores that ranked in the top 2% of the nation. As a result, he was recruited by some of the top Universities in the country, including Harvard, Air Force and MIT. Jerry was accepted into the prestigious Denver University believing that this would afford him the opportunity to be close to the business and do what he loved most, work with and train horses. As Olson Performance Horses started to take off more quickly than first anticipated, Jerry soon realized that he would have to make a choice in the direction that his career would take him. He chose his first love, the horses, believing that this is the path that he was meant to follow. Jerry plans to pursue a Business Degree on a part time basis, while he continues to successfully train and show horses. His accomplishments over the past number of years are evidence of his success in the horse industry. In 2007 Jerry was both RMQHA Golden Opportunity Futurity Winner and NSBA Champion in the Western LL class and also a 2 yr old Western Pleasure NSBA bronze winner. He also was a 2007 Western LL Congress Finalist (making Top Ten on three of the judges cards) So what makes it worthwhile to Jerry? "When I not only have personal success, but when I see my clients succeed (multiple Congress Finalists and Circuit Champions) it makes the hard work all worth while" While Jerry has worked with everything from halter to reining horses, he specializes in training both Western and Hunt Seat Futurity Horses. He is an active member of the AQHA, APHA, AHA, NSBA and USEF.
