| The key to any good arena horse is that they see time outside of the arena. Some of the best rope horses are ranch horses too. Does a world of good for barrel horses too.

good point Katrina, and a pet peeve of mine, we have neighbors who team rope constantly, common practice for most of them is to give all of the steers some ACE so they run straight, all of the horses some ace so they don't box sour and have fun running steers. These guys never think that those steers actually end up in the food chain as beef with an unapproved drug in their system, horses that can't function without being doped. One of the local vets won't sell them ACE anymore, he told me, "Why do these guys have to slow down the steers and the horses so they can catch them? What happened to cowboys riding the fastest horse to catch the fastest steer or am I missing something. Maybe they should not drink so much beer before they rope, or maybe they have to drug the animals so the drunk wannabe cowboys can catch something." And they don't understand why I won't rope with them  |
Not saying I am for ace, but do you realize how long you have to keep a roping steer until you eat it. The ace is out.

| I don't see too much wrong with aceing steers when they are fresh, easier on them and easier on the horses...but who would want to ride a horse full of ace?
