Team Roping
Team Roping: Consists of one steer, 2 mounted horses and Riders in a timed event. One Cowboy is the Header and one is the Heeler. Both Riders start from a chute. Again once the steer has passed the start line the Riders are free to leave their chutes. The Header must rope the steer's head on the horns or the head, while the Heeler is expected to rope the rear legs of the steer. The shortest time is the winner. Alternate, humane competitions, have the Heeler dismount once the Header has lassoed the steer and rope wrap the hind legs from the ground. The Heeler has only 7 seconds in which to do so.
