CALF ROPING
As the cowboy nods for his calf, his horse must wait behind a score line till the calf passes. The horse then leaves at adjusted speed, stops on cue as the roper catches and must work the rope as the cowboy ties any three legs of the calf.
Calf roping is a timed event in which many variables can lead to an outstanding run or a "speed jam." A highly trained horse, one which is able to run and stop,
a good draw (calf), and a little good luck can turn this into one of the most pleasurable events of the rodeo to watch.
