A-Ha! lol<br /><br />I will ask my farrier next time he is out. He is a roper and may have a good idea of the what and how stuff. When I roped, I just used the rope that was on the saddle with the horse. Never had my own, always borrowed everything. <br /><br />I would say to go with the one that feels right to you, but then there are zillions our there, different weights, thicknesses, etc. Maybe try contacting Cactus Ropes and explain what you want and why. They should be able to point you in the right direction.Cut-N-Jumphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10355349642284506192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-53276100701230651232013-06-04T19:30:38.747-07:002013-06-04T19:30:38.747-07:00I was told to just choose a rope that "felt r...I was told to just choose a rope that "felt right"! While I can't rope a horse, I do use a long line to ask the horse to move forward, stop etc and have been very successful with that, but knowing I have NO aim whatsoever, I do NOT wish to do more harm than good by doing it wrong!!! I also use pool noodles and softened (by a pool noodle or lots of tape) dressage whips to get a horse used to being touched. It has worked well for me and what I have, but I've only owned 1 horse that wished to harm me and she went back to the person I purchased her from as I was never told of her rogue behavior.hammerhorseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07144749417680923288noreply@blogger.com
