Roping

[captainidi]

Hej!
Har pecis kommit hem från en ranch i Arizona där jag fick lära mig roping. Har inga möjligheter att träna här där jag bor, men vill fortsätta! Undrar nu, finns det några där ute som tränar tillsammans eller dyl, skulle man kunna haka på?
Så är ni några där ute i sthlmsområdet, hör jättegärna av er!

Wish I could help you, haven´t had too good of luck on the roping front in this country myself.
Where in Arizona have you been?

Welcome back home neighbor. Small world, I was living outside of Benson Az. just off US10.
I went through Amado on my way down too Nogalas.
What were you doing down in Southern Arizona besides sweating and eating beans?

Enjoying life. Caught some cows, drove some tractor (were actually there to ride dressage)
Ended up loving roping, would be awesome to find something here at home

Here are the western clubs in Sweden, you can see if there is any roping people around you.

Roping and other time events are not very big here, pretty much slow burn riding.

Roping här uppe i 08-land är ett skämt. Det har aldrig funnits något större intresse i det de senaste 15 åren.
Har man sökt likasinnade har man fått ta med sig trailern efter bilen antingen ner till Västergötland eller färjat till Gotland.

Dock vet jag att det just nu finns en liten klick intresserade på södra sidan om Sthlm vilka är med i TWRS. Leta rätt på TWRS hemsida och besök dem på en öppen träning och känn om klubben och folket kan vara något för dig.

mvh Eva

well yes and no. Alot of roping the dummy

that can be a good start.
We had a roping arena in Benson, every wednesday evening there was training. I wasn´t very good at it, but the guy´s liked me too train with them as i was left handed, the steer would swing too the left instead of the right, this gave the healer a differant angle too come in.
After the first few try´s at heading and 8 misses out of 10 I came up with the idea too just loop the damn steer while in the shoot so when we took off the healer could get in his practice.

You can check out the www.rhc.se it´s the big western down at High Chaparral
27 june - i july. They got some roping, maybe you can make some contact.

ah thank you!
I only caught 3 real cows and practiced heeling without someone catching the head. It's soooo much fun! If I ever go back I kinda have a "trainer" at the ranch, but I'm gonna check it up! )
