Roping | |||||
| Cowhands spent many hours practicing with their
ropes so that a throw would be accurate. This practice would begin when
the cowhand was a youngster and continue his entire career. The toss of
the rope could save an animal from danger, select a horse out of the remuda,
pull a wagon out of the mud, and provide entertainment when other cowhands
were the objects being roped. Click here to view more Roping images |
