Just wondering,.. My dad talks about people back when he was a little kid in the early forties breaking horses to rope in a way I never saw before but have heard other older men talk about where they took a young horse and ran a rope through a stout fence to a yearling, tied off to the horn and stepped out of the way. The idea was that after getting slammed up against that fence a time or two the horse would wise up , sit back and face that rope real quick. There was a family in the area then { all deceased now} who I suspect they all learned it from, This familys old granddad had brought a herd of cattle up from Texas in the early days and the story was that was how they did it down there back then . The old guys that remember seeing it said that it worked quite well although it would certainly be a rough way to go it seems and not acceptable now days, just wondering if anybody else has heard of something like this from the older generations. :?
