This pictorial and narrative biography traces the amazing life of Virginia Reger, who grew up in a rodeo family and became a top trick rider and roper in the 1950’s. She demonstrates how drive and determination can make dreams come true.

Virginia was ahead of her time with an independence and self-confidence rarely seen in women before the 1970’s. A scrap booker before scrapbooking was cool, she collected news clippings, rodeo programs, publicity photographs, and much more dating from the 1930’s and will continue to do so into 2018 and beyond. This treasured memorabilia should not be lost, therefore it is presented here and tells her story in “Ridin’ Ropin’ and Jumpin’ Over Cars.”
