Intro To Ranch Roping Workshop (Step 1 in Series)

If you have ever wanted to learn how to rope, but don’t know where to start, this workshop is for you. Learn how to form a loop, manage your coils, swing and throw your loop all to catch a roping dummy. You don’t need a horse or even a rope, just a passion for learning. All instructional materials will be provided as well as shenanigans and prizes. Open to ages 10 and over. Minors must be accompanied by a participating adult (that’s right parents you must learn to rope with your kiddo).

This workshop is designed to teach rope handling from the ground before you throw a rope off your horse. We offer limited spots so everyone gets lots of attention and feedback. This workshop is required to move on to our 2nd workshop on horseback and to attend the Drag Steer Practices.

In this workshop you will learn:

Rope coiling and handling

Building a loop

Feeding and swinging

Aiming, Throwing, Pulling Slack

How to not hit yourself in the face

How not to hit your horse in the head

Managing your rope with your reins

Goodies: Practice ropes, roping dummies, cotton roping gloves, and instructional materials will be provided for everyone’s use while at the workshop.
