RANCH ROPING

The culmination of the partnership between horse and
rider

Traditional Vaquero
Loops

Overhand
This is the loop
most people are familiar with, and it is the basic loop to start out with.
However, you will discover other fun loops, like
The
Houlihan
Not just a horse
loop, but also a very versatile throw that you can use from a variety of
positions and distances. This one is vital for the keen or dedicated roper.
Great for outside work.
Backhand
Mastering this
loop gives you even more options in a branding pen or while doctoring out in the
pasture. A loop that most people pick up quickly when taught
correctly.
Scoop
Loop
A classic,
elegant loop that is well worth the time it takes to gain proficiency. Good when
you need a quick, accurate throw. This is also an excellent technique to use in
the round pen or at ranch roping competitions.
Once you have
cattle roped you still need to get to the saddle horn smoothly and safely for
your dally.
Dallying
Learning to
dally safely while heading and heeling is a must. It is a key to effective
roping and to keeping the cows heels once you have a loop on them. Your ability
to dally correctly will really boost your percentage of successful
catches.
Branding
The job cowboys
look forward to all year. You will learn the skills needed to be a working
member of the branding crew. Youll learn why roping calves is still the best
way to brand.
Doctoring
Learn how to
doctor if you are working with a partner, alone, in a pen or in a large
pasture.
Effectively
Getting the job done well.

Humanely
Getting the job done in a way that is low-stress for the cows, the
horses and the humans.
Safely
Our first and most important
concern is the safety of our students! We strive to help you have the best, and
safest time possible in all the ranch activities.

Atmosphere Included

Cowboy Camaraderie
Breathtaking Sunrises and
Sunsets
