HI!!
Permalink Closed


smile, Me i am from sask born and raised, grew up on a cattle farm, with the one wholes side of my family being ropers, my extended family being pmu ranchers with around 800 head, horses that is, bought and broke my first horse at thirteen, while riding several other horses with a family friend, that he was training, rode and drove a team of mules which sorry they were awesome. i then moved to the city and tried to forget where i came from parents sold the farm three days before bse  took out the cattle market, so it was a blessing in long run, now i am 28 have rode all over and everywhere and slowly saving for the small farm i would like,to bring my future kids up on, i hate town, can be a hermit and work on a horse ranch just out of town, in which sometimes drives me nuts that people that read books think they can breed and raise horses but other than that it is the horses that i love and most of my day is spent working for the horse and the rest with my other half, any other is researching bloodlines, of future horses that i would like to get in to i love paint but appendix aqha s scream my name must be from growing up around hot roping horses.

Welcome (again) to the forum, Sarah. :) We really do have similar ideas. I dislike read-it-alls (people who read, therefor they must know... no experience!) ;) Glad to have you here, as Jackie said.

Welcome, I'm new as well.

I know what you mean about hating the city, I couldn't live in the city any more than I could live in the bottom of a lake.

Hope to talk to you about roping sometime, I'm interested in doing breakaway in college rodeo :)

i never have break away roped all the roping we have done was the old fashion getter done kind, and team roping , witch i ahve done but never was into it but was always on a good rope horse, because on our farm growing up everything had to prove its use or down the road it went, horses, people and pets.
if there is something you need to know just ask as many of my family are still roping in rodeos and i will let you know.

Yeah, I would have liked to try the real thing but I'm afraid it's a bit late now since I've never had any practice with it :/

The closest I've come to having actual practical cowhorse experience was probably when I was 9 and my grandparents still had some cattle, but I guess I kind of missed out on that... I figure breakaway is probably one of the easiest to get into if you don't have much (or any) prior experience, ha ha.

the last roping horse i started, was never put on cows, because i had already, moved and parents had sold the farm, i spent hours just swinging the rope, catching random posts etc, never dallying off, off the back off my horse and dragging random thing tires fence posts scary tarps etc, when i sold him the owner phoned me and said he was the easiest horse ever he was, already use to the box the backing up people and scary monsters never bugged him, all the guy had to do was get him to start wanting to rate the calf etc, so there is alot you can do with out calves also if anyone has a fourwheeler you can get a dummy to rope.
