Absolutely correct Pat. Having heeled thousands of calves, I hate to waste a throw. My dad taught me 60 years ago that good heelers are the ones who can walk and chew gum at the same time. Smaller loops, keep the swinging to a minimum, help your fellow heelers and have your horse working with you. Excellent video, thank you.
Great advice about getting out of the way and helping your roping partner, I have been to brandings where you were pretty much on your own. If a guy is roping on a young horse sometimes they need a little more room coming to the fire, so don't crowd the horse.
love this video! I have trouble in the branding pen with catching the feet but loosing them when I turn to drag calves out, what tips do you have for that.
I guess we would need to know what direction you’re turning and if you know how to ride under your rope. Here’s a Cowboying Playlist. Watch the branding videos which show Pat handling the angles of the roping pen and his horse so that his rope his rope doesn’t get slack in it: th-cam.com/play/PLqolZu7D-bMNcciERfS3DSFGnY5F6lh0w.html
Yes,sir..most people just think about what their doing & not helpin,settin up next person for smoother&quicker operation..slow is smooth & smooth is fast.
Pat l don't get to comment often but love your videos great sense of humor . Your roping shots are great . Not sure but l think l have a few years on you but we do walk the same. Enjoying!!?
Drives me crazy to see him coil his rope backwards. His hands should meet palm to palm, not turning his hand over. Much faster. Also all the rope swinging is nonsense, if you have to rope a lot of calves just one swing and a throw works best. I have roped 20,000 calves so I guess I am opinionated.
You counted them?? I don’t know what you’re talking about having your hands meet palm to palm when you coil. That would mean you’d have to turn your hand over on the rope before you dally. Which isn’t correct. Maybe you’ll enjoy the following videos better: th-cam.com/video/5sSJP2HSZOw/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/dRvR2ABRiY4/w-d-xo.html

Lone Breeze I’ve often dreamed of being able to walk & chew gum at the same time.😢
Thanks Pat and Deb for the roping lesson. Here in South Carolina we don't do much branding.

Pat, this is unrelated, but ... there are times when you bump the fore feet out before mounting. Why?

To make the horse shorter and insure the horse stands still.
