A #4 should be able to do it in 2.5 seconds. A #6 and above in under 2 seconds. That means you have to swing your rope fast and dally fast. I’m trying to teach ropers how to have a feel for their horse and understand how much pressure they’re putting on your horse during the run. Some people try and justify the lights going off when they dally by telling me they want to pull on their horse when they dally. I want them to learn to rope with only their right arm. It’s important, and difficult, to learn to ride with just your left hand and rope with just the right. Most people use them together. So many team ropers get frustrated with their horse for not working correctly. They want to change bridles all the time without realizing it’s actually pilot error. They just don’t realize how many cues they are giving their horse during the run through the bridle reins. To make any significant improvement in roping you have to learn to ride your horse as well as you possibly can. Improvement doesn’t happen overnight, and it takes some time before being able to rope without setting off the lights on the Speed Trainer. Learning to ride better, and ultimately rope better, is what the Speed Trainer is built for. As you learn to ride better, your horse will respond and work better, and hopefully take you to the pay window more often. Speed Williams... From Page 4 Average: 1.
