I do just the opposite of what kdwhorses says to do-I rope from horseback-very little ground roping. I suck! I don't care! I love to rope! Of course my horses get a little tired of having their ears roped but hey...they learn to carry their heads lower-LOL.<BR/>First time I caught a tracking steer, I about lost my fingers because I was so surprised, I forgot to let go of the coils-oh, well-that is a mistake you only make once-hehehe.BrownEyed Cowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03610547057139295854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4772447720984602729.post-5258614016386770902008-06-18T14:56:00.000-05:002008-06-18T14:56:00.000-05:00Looks like fun.

I always tell people who are wanting to learn to rope everyday! Practice, practice, practice! I rope everything around here, not just the dummy. Trees, weeds, little cowgirls, big cowgirls, dog, etc.! Everything is a target! (not so sure hubby likes it, but I figure I owe him for all the years he roped me! LOL) When you get to a point of roping solid on the ground than move to the horse. So many people do it backwards and it is really frustrating! It is not something you just decided one day and go hope on your horse and start roping! LOL! I can tell you that for sure! Have many calluses to prove it! It is alot of work, but so worth it! One thing I noticed is your loop-it looked alittle small to me. MAybe just be the picture though! I had a great roper once tell me that you should be able to put your loop under your arm and it should almost be touching the ground! As you get better you can build while you are riding, so you can start with a smaller loop. I will say hubby has tried to teach me, but hubby's and wives do not mix! When I started I went to someone else! I still train with somebody else. Keeps the peace at home! Keep it up girl!kdwhorseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07927961715923751666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4772447720984602729.post-86982997263131770612008-06-18T01:21:00.000-05:002008-06-18T01:21:00.000-05:00Andrea, I can't rope either.

On the ground anyway, he isn't so good on a horse. Ha, Ha. I take pleasure in that somehow. Hey, I had to keep up with you, so I got a goat too.
