The Economics of Roping for a Living
This whole country is talking about the economy right now. But I'm not convinced that this countrys tough economic times are affecting most rodeo guys as much as everyone else in the nation. The way I see it, most of the guys out here on the road in every event are 18-25 years old, which... | read »

David Key's 5 Steps to a Good Handle
Q: Dear David, I hear all the time about how important it is for a header to set up a run for his heeler and give a good handle. Of course, I try my best to do this every time I rope, but I think there's more to it than I understand. How does a good header "quarterback" a run? What are the... | read »

Heeling Behind a Neck Catch
Q: Dear Broc, It doesn't happen often, but the other day my header had a neck catch. I had a lot of trouble being prepared to throw with a handle that isn't as controlled as a horn catch handle. What do you do when you see a neck catch in order to give yourself a chance at a fast/high... | read »

Lisa Lockhart and Chisum
A couple of years ago, five-time Badlands Circuit champion Lisa Lockhart decided to spend the summer rodeoing in Canada to season a horse she'd been training. Not only did he get seasoned, but Chisum, then 8, racked up so many paychecks that he sent Lockhart straight to the Canadian Finals... | read »

The Traits of True Success
It's every roper's aspiration and ultimate goal to make a living roping. For many years I thought that was the greatest life you could ever imagine--being a professional team roper and making a living roping. What I've learned is that sometimes you have to wonder what you wish for. There are two... | read »

There's No Substitute for Setting Goals and Sacrifice
I've had a dream of being a roper, roping for a living and trying to be the best I can be since I was 13 or 14 years old. So I kind of take for granted the goal setting and sacrifice it takes to be successful roping. That desire within me from such an early age has always pushed me in that... | read »

The New Economics of Roping for a Living
We're in uncharted economic territory right now. Roping has never been an easy way to make a living. But I think we've taken affordable fuel for granted for a long time, and now those days are gone. When we first started rodeoing, the high-end truck was a Chevy two-seater 454 dually that got... | read »

Dallying Safely with Matt Funk
Q: Dear Matt, I'd like to see an article about how to dally safely. I learned the hard way about dallying that if you're in trouble let go and save your thumb. Do you need to change your posture when you dally? What are the physical things I need to do with my torso when I dally? How many... | read »

Team Roping Times Have Changed
There are still certain events, ropings and rodeos, where consistency rules. The BFI, Wildfire, USTRC Finals, Salinas and Cheyenne are a few examples where a really good horse and consistency still wins. But now there are events like the George Strait and the NFR (Wrangler National Finals... | read »

Ask the Pros--Rating

Dear Logan,
I have a 9-year-old gelding who I have been in the box with and have tracked some steers and calves on him, but he hasn’t been trained yet. He is tracking pretty good, except sometimes he runs right past them. What do you think I should do?
