Catching is often the easiest part. How you handle the rope and attached forest creature is important. You can make things easier or you can make things more difficult for the both of you in a hurry. Samuel Keith and i checked some of it out on our young horses. I find the biggest part of handling a rope horse back is having real good control of the horse’s hind feet. The hind feet of the horse do a whole lot to influence the saddle horn. If the hind feet get to far out behind your horse you loose all your power and maneuverability.
