The front legs must both be in one loop, and the back legs need to both be in the heel loop.

The ground person and their rope must be mounted before time is called.

Buck Brannaman was one of the participants.
 
Thanks for sharing, Soapweed. Those kind of events are really fun to watch. Mr. FH says he can't even hold that much
rope in his hand, let alone rope something.
Pretty impressive to have Buck attend. He's been swinging a rope since forever.
 
Those are some nice photo's again Soapweed. I wish I could have gone to watch. Its fun watching somebody do something different than what I might be used to. I heard all about it from the Tramp while saddling horses Monday moring.
 
Great photo's of an interesting event. Looks like there were lots of knowledgeable folks on hand to participate..... even if all the ones you show here are using the wrong hands!
