@CrazyWelshEmo do you mind quoting where you heard this from? because i would like to tell that person or people they are wrong. i actually personally own a 19 year old horse that is team roped on as well as rode in a feedlot. Most of the cowboys i know actually give their horses to kids gettin started in horses and such when they're too broke down to use every day that extensivly.

is that a Percheron??
-
wow... thats a beautiful, well built, well kept horse :-D
-
cool..... Do you practice team roping in Europe?
-
I have a retired race horse that is fifteen. And he is a gelding so he is around for pleasure rides now.

Wow. Roping is amazing. It takes a lot of precision. C'mon the guy could've been more of a show-off though-swing the rope above his head and have his horse gallop

How do you compete in ranch roping? how is it scored?

It's a time based competition. The faster you catch the cow, the better you score. Plus, you get a bonus if you use "special" shots, instead of the normal "overhead" shot.
For novice (my category) the time end when the break-away opens AND you make the "dully" (block the rope turning it 2-3 times around the saddle horn)

Aparently 70% of western event horses go to slaughter at 13years old

I don't know in general, but we have horses 24 (!!) year old, and we still use for Ranch Roping... you know, for us our horses are "friends" not "tools".. I do not have the lucky to have my own horse, but I think that nobody of our group has never sent his horse to the slaughter... However ranch roping as we do it is very "easy", the horse almost never gallop.. it is very different from reining (I don't like reining..)
