Ask The Pros with Bobby Harris
Speed
Handles Dear
Bobby, I have been roping
for about a year and I am really happy with my progress, I am starting to get
consistent. I am on a great horse and everything is falling into place. I just
needed some advice on one area, though. How fast is too fast? When I turn a
steer I... | 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 »

Spin to Win: The First Decade
I had two
tiny feet in my left hand and a dirty diaper in my right when I got the call.
Some guy by the name of Tom was on the other end of the line, and I'd been
recommended to him as a person who might be a fit for his new pie-in-the-sky
publication project. I cradled the phone with my... | 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 »

The One and Only Jake Barnes
It was such a letdown and disappointment that Jake got hurt, because he had the ball rolling out there in Las Vegas and he wasn't going to be denied what he wanted. I think everyone knew that. It was disheartening to me for him to come up short due to an injury that is not supposed to happen to... | read »

Jake Turns Terror into Triumph
"Please tell me Jake didn't
just cut his thumb off."
The words blurted out of my
mouth as I grabbed my brother's arm and gasped in disbelief. From my perch on
the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo press deck, just to the right of the
announcers, Jake wasn't 15 feet from me when the... | read »

Rope Buyers' Guide
Team ropes
closely resembled each other and weren't exactly easy to come by (unless you
knew families like the Kings or Willards). The hard nylon thing in everybody's
hand--whether on the ranch or at the NFR--was 7/16" around, was produced 600 feet

When it comes to horses Experience is a Plus
People ask
me all the time about my preferences in horses, and what I look for in a horse.
One of the first things I mention is that I don't tend to be very interested in
buying young horses. I've roped for a living the last quarter of a century, and
I've just learned to bank on the... | read »

2005 US Open Champs
Parity
is a term thrown around in sports circles a lot these days. Basically, it means
equality. In sports, it means that any team, or at least many teams, have a
legitimate chance at being successful. And while many of the nation's major
sports leagues are striving for it, parity is... | read »
