"Neighbor had a Good Night heading."

Such a topic title is not easily recognized around here. Our cows are better behaved, I guess.

Head protection for cattle! I be it's a good idea but probably not PETA approved.

It's good to see tradition is not dead out west.

No picking of the nits from me.  Cutting horses and roping horses are amazing to watch, esp. a horse and rider that work toghether so well.  As a Texan it pians me to admit this but I am not very good on horseback.  I had a bad experience on a horse as a child and was scared of them.  They could tell this.

When I was about 12 my older sister bought a horse.  Just a pleasure horse.  What we didn't know at first was it was a very well trained cutting horse..  I wasn't ever much of a rider but that thing was fun to use to chase the neighbors cows with.

We boarded a horse when I was a kid. As part of the boarding, we fed, cleaned, and rode the horse. The first time I got on this horse, it got away from me and I fell off. What I didn't know was that the horse was trained to run whenever you gave him his head.

Nope. I don't remember seeing anything like that during the few rodeos that I went to but that was back in the 70s.

You might find this interesting, even though it is long. I never saw team roping until I moved to Montana and only in recent years.  Ranch rodeos are interesting, in that you get to watch events that actually occur on ranches.  In one event women team rope a cow, milk the cow, and then race on foot to the judge with the bit of milk collected in a glass.

I'm pretty sure delivering chocolate milk would ensure a win.

Easy. Just use brown cows.

Team roping is a thing where ever they raise cattle.  I saw it at events in both Texas and Oklahoma as a kid.   Knew a couple of rodeo cowboys in a very passing fashion both in high school and when at A&M.

Here is a guy I knew in high school who raises and rides cutting horses

Oh sure, leather chaps with fringe is an essential bit of kit for this activity. What with all the tall weeds and scrub brush around.

He competes, so I imagine it is all part of the show.  Not sure on that though.

Regarding this thread, there's a lot of things that can played here just spinning the thread's title.  But I digress.

I agree, he did show restraint.  No pun intended with the title, just being descriptive.  Neighbor owns the horse he is riding, and several others use the same horse at ropings.  Seems like in some regions they concentrate on calf roping and in other regions there is more team roping.

Mrs. Silly had a bad experience on a horse the first time she tried to ride too.  This becomes my problem because I've never ridden a horse but would really like to.  Unfortunately, because of Mrs. Silly's bad experience, whenever I suggest we do it, she shoots it down.
