Ranch Roping

Author: Buck Brannaman with A.J. Mangum

Ranch roping is at the heart of all ranch work, and unlike the rodeo variation of calf roping,
the "vacquero" tradition calls for techniques that result in a skillful and graceful throw and
catch. Buck Brannaman, a world-renowned master of the art, describes essential tools, the
partnership between horse and rider (incorporating the Natural Horsemanship approach for
which th author is famous), and the mechanics needed to become a successful ranch roper,
whether in competition or in actual ranch work. 128 pages, 100 full-color photographs
