RANCH ROPING CLINIC WITH BOB KING
HOSTED BY DR. BILL BARNES

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.
