Here is the website for the Jordon Valley Big Loop  
i don't think that some of the posters on this thread are gonna change some of their overly western heritage knowledged comments  .......but i'm glad this was added.....



and i'm not referring to the debate about whether this is cruel or not nor whether it should be continued......only to those that seem to know so much about real western heritage....

That was the question I was asking...whether or not it's a real 'tradition'.  I know that men had to do certain things, often 'over the hill & outta sight'...that's life, however, they never, ever, abused an animal (not real cowboys...I mean, imagine Ray Hunt or one of the Dorrance brothers???!!!!) on purpose, for sport!  Period.  They weren't the first western horsemen...

CE's wrapn3 - 2014-01-24 8:18 AM  I personally wouldn't do it. .Do you believe in calf roping? They rope them by the neck, they get whip lash then pulled up by the flank and thrown to the ground but you can't rope a horse by its front legs? I'm just curious what you think?
^^^^^^

This......don't be a hypocrite.  If it's ok to rope cattle, it should be ok to rope horses.  The goal of a good catch in tripping is to stun the steer enough so it doesn't fight.  Now why don't we see that at the NFR?????



I am neither for nor against either activity, but if you start making rules and laws, be prepared for someone to decide it's cruel to make a horse run around three barrels someday. 

Actually the easier you lay a steer down, the less they fight.  When you hit them too hard, they kick and try to get up.  When its done correctly the steers don't get hurt.  Its all about control of your horse to do it right.  Its nothing like what they were doing to those horses, we will keep practice steers for 6 month to a year.....they are not hurt/crippled.
