[QUOTE="Horse Guy, post: 427952, member: 5753"] Naturally you have to lead your throw when your trying to rope a running horse much the same as a duck hunter leads a duck when he shoots at it. But with horses you should be more particular in what type of swing/ throw you use compared to cows. Example if a horse is running from your left to your right you should be swinging your rope in a clockwise direction. This way the rope catches up to the horse and should land on the back of the horses neck first. See if you swung in a counter cloackwise direction and threw, well the rope is going to hit the horse harder. If its a good throw this doesnt matter as much but if you miss a bit your really going to smack him in the face because your rope is being thrown towards the way the horse is running. If the horse is running from your right to your left then thats when you would swing and throw your loop in a counter cloakwise direction. So you dont take the chance of smacking him. See this way the rope is catching up to the horse. Not being thrown head on towards him. With cows it doesnt really matter. There dumb and tough, [plus it doesnt matter what they think of a rope.
