I tried roping in high school, but quickly gave up.
We go to the cutting pen on occasion (one of my horses is a finished cutter and most of the others are bred to do it as well). At least in there, I'm less likely to LOSE any important body parts. LOL!!!
We've got a roping pen here at the house and hubby & our landlord frequently discuss getting steers since the LL used to rope & is training a young horse and hubby wants to start roping (at least - that's his desire this week....it changes often). I'd rather just go work cows...I like my fingers, thumbs & toes.
