So, you think you want to learn to Team rope?

First, make sure you can ride and handle a horse well.  And find a SOLID, older horse, that has been there, and done that. One that stays quiet in the box, and makes the same run, over and over.  Start on the heeling end first.  There is no place for a beginning header. It is too complicated to try to set up a run, by first catching, dallying safely , handling cattle correctly, and giving a heeler a shot........And get a good heeling dummy, even if it is a sawhorse, and learn perfect practice.   Buy heeling videos and books and study them when you are able.  THEN when you are catching that dummy consistantly,  you can start roping a lead steer or a donkey from your horse.  Your last step, is roping out of the box.   If you do your groundwork first, your will advance much quicker. 

Postnote, we have an excellent beginning  Head and Heeling horse, that the owners have advanced on.  They are now able to pass him on for another beginner. Ask Jack for details Mitch, or  others.

13 year old Grey Head horse. Hancock bred,  good looking gelding, with lots of talent! Quick, catty, and capable. This is not for the beginner....if you plan to go big, this might be the horse for you. Unless it is quite short, it takes forever to download, so  Check out this run    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOnJaQ6Eyyo

7 year old, Paint heel horse, with a nice foundation in the pasture. Used on the ranch, and walks out, like you want one too. He is a nice size too, standing 14'3.  He has had alot of burro  roping and heeling out of the box. Kind disposition, quiet, and fun to ride. 

We also have a very nice 6 year old, with limited hauling...just jackpots and one sanctioned roping.  This gelding has been brought along right, and perfect, if  you want a young horse.  Sorrel, 15 hands, and very kind, willing disposition.  Priced right, and no bad habits. Ask Jack about this one.
