On sunday, Laurel and I went riding and then we went to a roping lesson. And yes, that's what the cowboys do to capture a cow to brand it or take care of it. They have a calf roping competition at the Fort Worth rodeo, where they have to lasso the cow and then tie its feet up.
Our roping teacher, Glen, is a team roping champion. He's a header and doesn't rope calves but young cows, too heavy to be tied up, that's why you have a team with a header and a heeler.
We didn't actually rope any cow but we saw Glen do it, and it's very fast! What we roped was a dummy pulled by a horse, and it was already pretty hard. But we had lots of fun, it was a great day!
Back from the ride with Cody and Twister in the back
Ready to go!
This is Zeus, he's Laurel's mom. I usually ride him but he was missing a shoe so we couldn't take him on a trail ride. He was a little upset to be left behind.

Laurel is trying first!

Super dimanche, je trouve que tu as beaucoup de style, aussi bien à cheval sans selle, qu'avec le lasso, la prochaine fois tu attrapes le petit veau.
Bisous.
