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 »

that.
Like so many
strapping, healthy young men, Johnson hadn't had a physical since his high
school sports days when... | 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 »

Standing Up or Sitting Down in Team Roping
There
are lots of old sayings or rules that were passed down through the generations
concerning roping. One of those that I hear a lot is that you should stand up to
rope. I see some students that were taught that, and they literally try to stand
up out of the seat of their saddle to ride... | 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 »

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 »

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 »
