i'm really not a roper, but i've taken to getting colts i train used to having a rope swung around them because i had a wild ride with a colt that got scared if you did basically anything with your hands. My question is can you rope from the sound of it no.First thing you better do is learn to handle a rope.A green roper and a green horse usually adds up to trouble.Īnd you can get in a jam in the breakaway also.The rope is tied to the horn of the saddle with a string.Some ropings to keep things honest will provide the string it is usually a very small diamiater nylon about like a kite string and yes it will break and not jerk your horse down.And the barrier judge,some places, will make sure it is tied tite.And when it does break it will go a singing past the horses head.You do have to get your slack up you dont want to drop it and have the horse get over the rope.Īnd you can rope breakaway out of a barrel saddle.But it doesnt work as well as a calf roping saddle.They are designed to let you get up in front of the horse and rope cattle.A barrel saddle isnt made for that purpose.The breakaway is becoming a big event in this part of the country.Find you some one to help you learn to rope and find you and old calf horse to teach you.We rope on all our barrel horses first and we can do both but most barrel horses have never had a rope swung on them so it can get a bit scary.Īlthough some of you might go "well, duh", i think clampitt makes an excellent point and while it might be basic to some, it's worth mentioning.
