I ❤❤❤ the seat in the Dakota walker 750! I ride TONS of trails and wouldn't trade for a CWD or Bob Marshall custom!!! Best saddle ever and reasonable! Made in the good ole US of A
Seems like you are more the buckaroo style cowboy what are your feelings on tying off as to sliding rope? To bad I don't hang with you guys our outfit could've used you gents last week for branding in Wyo, We had 320 to get done had it all set up for rope and drag plenty of ground crew and all of the ropers bailed last min leaving just 2 of us to rope, Unfortunately the manager changed it up to a table which blows. You guys should come out to the Tom Horn days big ranch party with some ranch style rodeo. Hell you might already come out lol great video as always brother, Stay safe
I personally prefer to dally and generally use a longer rope than my friend. I would agree that hard and fast can be a dangerous style of roping vs. dallying. But, when it gets down to the nuts and bolts of things. Everyone has their own methods and likes of doing things. If it works for them, it works for them.
@@ellistonequinesolutions3795 the fun thing is that I use the hard and fast, I don't love dallying but I know that hard and fast is more dangerous. Have a great dsy
@@FranzValerOklahoma and Texas has lots of brush and thickets. The Old Timers liked hard and fast because if you went into the brush after one it was one less thing to worry about. They had a pocket on their shotgun chaps to keep a knife (before knives with clips) in if you got in trouble.
Howdy Dusty, you let the coils slide out of your hand kinda like a fishing line spooling out of a bait caster reel. Every roper has to learn "feel" of when to let out the coils slowly with the rate of the caught critter or letting go of them at a high rate of speed. This feel comes from lots of practice on a roping dummy, hanging a tire from a tree branch or rafter of a barn and pulling back on the rope and letting go like you actually caught something and lastly roping real cattle.
I hate a horse to graze when he’s working, when your at the other end of that rope he/she should be on point and paying attention. I also don’t agree with leaving the rope on the calf when goin back to horse for more medicine or paint stick or whatever is needed. Tie the calf down, pull the rope off his neck, and I also suggest taking it off your horn. That’s when the horse can relax. Then if something were to spook the horse he won’t drag the calf and with the rope off the horn nothing can get caught in your loop and drug. But I guess like you said, everyone has their own style.
@Elliston Equine Solutions You're so polite when responding to folks who try to tell what for.... a good quality these days.. you have much more patience with those people than I would have. Always Well Done👏
You sure do trust your horse! When someone puts a rope around their arm/hand, they might wish they hadn't.
Ben trying to explain the dilly dally term to folks. You did it

Gah damn can make a damn tie rope with all that slack
i really prefer the classic hard and style of roping, for me in more confortable but in some caseses for dangerous than daly. What do you think?

So after you pull your slack do you just let go of the coils in your left hand?
