Ready to Roll into the Summer Run
This is the time of year when we're on our summer run. Because I live in the
Southwest, it's about a four-month leave from home for me. I take off for Reno
and the BFI in June, which is a really big week, and away we go. It's nice to
win when you first leave for the summer. I've done it both... | read »

Keep Your Options Open: Stay in School
It's the end of May, and we just got back from the Wrangler Junior High
Division State Finals out here in California. It was fun to see the
www.slonesaddles.com banners on the arena fence, so I called Tod to say hello.
I'm happy for those guys when they head home, but I miss them just the... | 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? Thanks, Ryan, Senoia, Ga. Dear Ryan, Get... | read »

Ask the Pros--Practice Aids
Dear Logan, I am a No. 2 header. Do you think it is better to practice on a mechanical
steer more than live steers? If so, how often would you rope the mechanical
steer over live steers? If not, how would you set up a practice for a low number
roper? My horses seem to work pretty well on both... | read »

Time to Make a Midseason Move
It's halftime in the rodeo industry. Even though we've only been to about a
third of the 70 rodeos we can count toward the world standings this year, the
winter and spring rodeos are in the books. As things heat up, there are
frustrations every professional roper goes through. It's all a... | read »

Beyond the Call of Duty
Cody Hill was like most late-teen roping bums you know. Coming off a
300-mother cow operation in Ada, Okla., he gravitated toward the arena and was a
natural.
He won his first team roping at the age of 12 with Jody Newberry of
Professional Bull Rider fame. Hill high school rodeoed and,... | read »

The Inside Scoop with ACTRA President, Clyde Saunders
SWR: So Clyde, ACTRA has been around since 1983, but your organization maybe
isn't as well-known as some others. What is it about the American Cowboys Team
Roping Association that sets you apart from other associations?
Clyde: I believe the fact that it's owned and operated by its members... | read »

Ask the Pros - Timing is Everything
Dear Richard, I'm a heeler and my problem is I tend to hit the front foot of the steer when
I throw my loop. Some say I'm too close to the steer or others say I'm too flat
on my swing. Can you explain to me what you think? Confused heeler, McAllen, Texas Dear Heeler, You're probably not in time... | read »

Roping Steer Changes Over 50 Years
This month, I would like to share my observations on the changes in roping
steers over the last 50 years. I believe the present-day steers are different in
a number of ways from the steers we roped back then.
The first difference I will address is the genetic makeup of the steers. I
believe... | read »

Ask the Pros - A Shy Heel Horse
Dear Richard, I have a 4-year-old Hancock/Peponita gelding that I broke as a 2-year-old and
have been roping on in the round pen since the winter he turned three. He is
very cowy and I have done things slowly. Since I have finished my pen at home
late this summer, I have tracked and broke... | read »
