: Sounds good Jim Bob, vaquero, I am getting a
: few heavier calves in the next week. A
: friend was selling some they can't tie down
: anymore and figure I can knot and bw rope
: them for a long time and turn them out then
: get my money back on them. I was still
: wondering if anyone could tell me why I
: figure 8 the back leg. The last 2 ropings
: I've done it twice, thanks again

: Try knot roping some bigger and stronger
: fresh calves weighing at least 220lbs. It
: doesn't take much of horse to get by on 140
: - 150 lbs calves. You handle your rope
: great. You need a little more help from your
: horse. Try to put some set in him.

: If anyone wants to give me some pointers
: below
: is a video of a few runs. I’m roping in the
: 14 . I can see a pattern of figure eighting
: a back leg. Not sure if my loop is to flat
: or to big. I feel like my spoke is a little
: shorter than normal. I have also wondered
: if my delivery is to far in front of my face
: or if Its better to get more curl or action
: releasing more to the side. Most of my
: practice the last 3 months has been
: breakaway only on a sled and some bigger
: dairy calves but I think I need to shake my
: horse back a little after tying to stop him
: from rubbing rope and pawing. My other
: question might be that I noticed a few
: calves kicking when I gather the back legs
: to tie. I’m not sure if that’s due to them
: being on the fresher side or if my horse
: leaving a little slack in it has something
: to do with that. Anyway, any advice is
: appreciated and I would like to go to a
: clinic this summer or get some lessons. I
: live 80 miles
: west of Austin. Thanks,
