Rodeo Personnel

Dusty Tuckness is returning to the Horse Heaven Round-Up, Dusty has worked the Wrangler National Finals rodeo 14 times and has been voted PRCA Bullfighter of the Year 11 times! His dad was a bullfighter, so the rodeo life was nothing new to him.

Miles Barry was 13 when he decided to follow in his father Rowdy Barry’s footsteps and become a bullfighter. Miles moved up the ranks from fighting at high school rodeos to college to amateur and now professionally.

Always a crowd favorite, Walla Walla’s JJ Harrison is one of the top barrelmen in the business. With a prestigious resume that includes stints at the NFR and being selected five times as the barrelman at the RAM National Circuit Finals Rodeo—considered the second highest honor in the industry—JJ Harrison brings unparalleled energy and entertainment to the arena. Beyond his rodeo talents, JJ, a former school teacher, extends his impact beyond the arena by leading anti-bullying education programs in local schools.

It would hardly feel like the Horse Heaven Round-Up Rodeo without Roger Mooney’s resonant voice filling the arena. Over his impressive 27-year tenure here, Mooney has witnessed firsthand the rodeo’s transformation into one of the nation’s premier events. Hailing from Elijay, Georgia, Roger infuses the event with a Southern charm that adds a unique touch. Mooney’s extensive experience includes announcing at NFR seven times, including most recently in 2023, showcasing his exceptional talent and deep connection to the world of rodeo.
