Reading Each Run and Making Adjustments Along the Way
When I rope I have a game plan for what I'm going to do,

Setting Up Your Position in the Corner
When you're setting up your approach into the corner, that's the
most crucial time as far as position and horsemanship go in the heeler's run.
You're seeing how the header's setting up the corner on the steer, and you're
