Roping

One of the sessions at horse camp on the last day was on learning to rope. Thankfully, it was without horses, because it would be a disaster to try to learn on your horse. It's hard enough to master on your own two feet. I can't imagine trying to control my horse and make sure he's not scared of this snake-like object I'm throwing around!
Nicole practiced a little the night before on a bucket in front of our camper. Candi gave her a brief lesson. She seemed to catch on right away.
I didn't bother giving it a try before the class, but I wish I had. I was terrible at it! I couln't for the life of me figure out how to rotate my wrist correctly to spin the rope over my head. All the other women seemed to do fine. But not me. I was roping my own hat more than anything!
