Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cowcatcher" data-source="post: 3974376" data-attributes="member: 43171"><p>Catching wild stock ain’t for the faint of heart and most if not all the team ropers seen on tv and at the rodeos don’t have the knowledge and horsepower to do it. I’m arguing in favor of something that won’t happen because those in charge have no knowledge of what is possible and probably didn’t seek advice from anyone with knowledge. Anyhow there’s lots of scary stuff being talked about and most of it I’m pretty sure was the result of inexperience. An experienced cowboy can manage his slack and angles and that coupled with sitting on a horse that really understands what is going on will prevent all this getting flipped and stomped stuff. Then, this experienced cowboy and horse should have experienced help. That help should be just as gritty. A bovine can only look or run in one direction at a time and once cowboy one is attached to one end then cowboy two should shortly be attached also. Gotta know what you’re doing. I don’t care if you’re the world champ of the world in the nice manicured arena. If you ain’t gone fast in the grass and taken a tree branch to the teeth then you won’t be successful catching the bad ones. Anyhow, it doesn’t matter anyway I reckon. It just gets under my skin when opinions get formed based on fake news or misinformation or even ignorance. It’s never good to see a horse drug down or the fella riding it getting a rope wrapped around himself or under his horses tail whilst a rank bovine is on the other end but those are all preventable. Y’all have a good one. Just know that I ain’t skeered of all that stuff and I’ll keep doing it as part of my living.</p></blockquote><p></p>
