I mentioned in my other thread about roping that I might have an opportunity to do a clinic this summer. Buck will be in my area and is offering H1 and H2 classes. I’ve done H1 with my mustang, and I’m interested in doing more and doing cow work. But, I have no roping experience. Between now and then I can certainly play with my rope, but actual roping of a cow is not possible, and while I’d like to learn to swing a rope and some basic skills, I certainly wouldn’t be ready to do any sort of thing from the saddle.
Here’s the description (below). The working cattle part I’m okay with. The roping is beyond my capabilities. I suppose it all depends on who is in the class, but just wondering if anyone here has done one of these?
I’m also going to a Bryan Neubert clinic (would be before Buck’s clinic), but with a different horse, so no roping (although maybe he could show me a thing or two on the ground).
The next phase in the development of the versatile bridle horse. Horsemanship 2 introduces the rider to working the horse in the hackamore and beyond. Horsemanship 1 is a prerequisite for enrolling in Horsemanship 2 unless otherwise approved by Buck. The class involves working cattle and ranch roping so that all aspects in preparing the bridle horse-in-the-making are addressed.
