I was at a ropin Sunday,nuthin serious just a glorified practise really.
Was introduced to an old man I had seen around and watched rope,he is a heeler and pretty fair,anyway got to visitin with the fella he is 78 years old and still ropin,he was eyein that grey of mine pretty good and asked if he could try him............sure I said but remember the horse is green and young,old man just smiled as he rode the grey around a bit and made a run, I give you $4000 for him he said ?
Nope I let a good grey horse get away from me once,now that ole grey horse of mine is about as useless as a marriage license to a Tomcat,but nice to know someone thinks he will make a ropin horse.
good luck

ive sold many of my young horses at small ropings like that. i brought a 3 year old palamino stud to a roping and took 3rd off of him at his first roping. 9500 dollars in the pocket and one less horse to take home. Wink but if youi think that grey horse is good for you then no amount of money should get him away from you.

btw you got to watch them old farts at the ropings, theyll sneak up on ya and take all your money. dont ask how i know Rolling Eyes

There a ropein around here that mostly old folks. Good people to. Ready to help learn a youngin. Then we get a bunch of cubans come. Mind you, I've got no problems with cubans when they act like people ort to. But they all speak english but gather around and speak spanish and r rude as hell about it. I speak a little and understand more. I've called them down about what they have said about others, them thinkin nobody understands them. Some of them can sure rope. But I aint one to put up with bad behaveyor. Speak american or shut the hell up.
