Thanks Chris Littlefield you're the man this video and your tip in one of the comments really helped me out a lot advancing me in training my calf roping horses good job man I can't thank you enough Brother Littlefield may God continue to bless you 👍
I start by standing right in front of the horse while it is fully tacked for roping, this includes a neck rope and the bridle. The rope runs through the neck rope, and remember I said it helps to put some life in your rope-or shake it-while you tug on it. Pull on the rope and, if the horse comes to you, use your free hand to push it's nose back. Put some life in the rope to encourage the horse to get back. As the horse understands, move further away, lengthening the rope.
@SuperPdiddy12345 Thank you for your question. Chris Littlefield explained his method to us: Remember, it is not a lead rope and halter you're pulling on, its a rope run through the neckrope. So the horse's reaction may not be to lead. Continued in response below...
I watch this video and I see the authentic american horse and working riding style.I m from Andorra,Europe and here there is not working riding tradition.
How do you initially get them to start backing up? Is that first done on the ground when you are getting them used to a rope being slung around them and on to when roping the dummy? I'm curious as I have a 6 year old mare my daughter and I are wanting to make her an all around horse. She does barrels, poles, Texas barrels, arena race, goat tying, and now she wants ol dad to get into some roping with her. I'm all about it as I am learning the piano for my other daughter because she has a voice like no other. I have never trained a horse for roping as I have really never had the need to rope, but now my little girl wants to learn, I'm down like 4 flat tires.
I have a calf horse that used to stop real great, but he has started "gliding" to a stop, and he pops up when i make him stop, even when i tie big calves off him he still pops up. He still works a great rope but i cant really get the momentum off him stopping to hold my slack when i dismount. How do i get him to stop better?
Trevor not everyone agrees like you to motion my animals with weight also, to work on is a straight line, that you will find you doing that your horses will stop strong and stay in the ground longer. if you keep them cowed up longer when you first start a young horse. and keep them stalled so they learn to all why's trust you, and work then on gates they learn to uses there bodies.

IF you don't like it, why watch it?
