What It's Like to be 3
3.5 Blaine Linaweaver and Jory Levy (San Angelo, Texas, 2001) Linaweaver: What I
remember is that we were struggling. We were talking about going home. We
weren't winning and we didn't know if we had what it takes. We didn't have much
confidence. It was my first year out and I was starting to... | read »

Staying Motivated, Win, Lose or Draw
It's
easy to cope with winning. It's just not a problem when you're roping good, your
horse is working good and your cash flow's good. But when the well runs dry and
things turn around, you still have to stay motivated. Sometimes it takes a
split, a new horse or whatever to shake things up,... | read »

Ask The Pros with Walt Woodard
Wonder
Horse Dear Walt, What makes a great
heel horse? What should I be looking for? Thanks, Cole, Greenbrier,
Ark.
Dear
Cole, We look for a horse
that is broke. Broke in the body, broke in the poll, flexes, bends and knows his
leads. We like a quiet horse that will lope in controlled... | read »

The Quickest Way to Catch onto Roping
A steer busts out of
the gate, and two cowboys on horseback go tearing after him, ropes swinging. In
seconds it's over. One cowboy has successfully roped the steer's head, the other
has caught the back legs. Just one more equine sport out of reach of the rest of
us.
Or so you think...... | read »

Keeping it Simple
I've observed a lot
of people and their approach to roping over the years, and there are two ends of
the spectrum and everything in-between. I've always been on the end where I
analyze every aspect inside and out, and I've seen other guys on the same end
that are really meticulous in how... | read »

Horse Position in Team Roping with Clay O'Brien Cooper
I've discussed horse
position in team roping and explained what position I'm
looking for. But a student at one of my team roping schools recently pointed out that he's
subscribed to Spin to Win Magazine since day one, and I've never pinpointed a clear
definition on where I want my horse... | read »

Life Goes On with Jake Barnes
Cutting my thumb off
at the (Wrangler) National Finals (Rodeo) last December gave me a whole new
perspective on roping and life. There's no telling how many people lose thumbs
and fingers in this sport every year. I honestly didn't know just how common an
injury this is, but it's changed... | read »

On Spinning and Winning
I wasn't
one of the original cast members of Spin to Win. I showed up after Jake (Barnes)
and the rest of the crew kind of got the ball rolling. But I've been on board
several years now. By the time I came onto the scene, we knew there was a lot of
interest in this thing. But I sure didn't... | read »
