We have been doing some roping - here's a couple shots from this past week's competition and small branding at our place. Thanks for the help with getting us to this point.

Richard Boatwright thanks, I will give that a shot.

That's a good follow-up question. I personally haven't tried one but was wondering if it might be a good tool for that objective.  I've struggled with the right method(s) to teach a horse to tie (at least well enough to trust leaving them tied out of sight).

Richard Boatwright - I have a question. I've seen patience poles used to teach a horse to tie up - is that a method you recommend?

Wanted to say thanks Richard Boatwright for the content and share a success story with my wife's horse. We have roped some off of him and he's tolerated but never been completely good with it. Like good horsemen (sarcasm) we left it go because it's sometimes more fun to rope than it is to work on your horse. Last couple outs he got tangled a little bit and had a couple near wrecks.

We went back through your 'How to Prep a Colt to Rope' exercises and started him back on it the right way. We found quite a few 'resistance' areas which we would not have wanted to find in the saddle! This is him after he eventually decided that the rope attached to his foot was going to kill him.

Thanks again!
