[QUOTE="Bigfoot, post: 1451610, member: 17956"] I roped back in the day. Can't say I was real serious with practice. Lotta Sunday evenings, me and the gang would get together. I'd throw a rope at a dummy a little through week. Never really was any good though. I guess to me it was like you know what. You didn't have to be good at it to enjoy it. I would occasionally hit an open rodeo, or a ropin somewhere. The kids most definitely practice more than I ever did. They also compete more than I ever did. I wonder how much "practice" a person should do, or perhaps how much is sufficient. I would add, that I have no fear, that the kids are going to burn themselves out by practicing. If the ground will hold a horse up, they pretty well ride. Rope dummies out on the patio every night. My youngest, (10 years old) practices, but not nearly as much as the twins (just turned 13years old). She is considerably better than the twins were at the same age. I rope every once in a blue moon. Probably half arena and half pasture. I'm no worse or better, than I was 20 years ago. I also have my horses tuned on daily to. It all makes me wonder, how much should somebody practice? [/QUOTE]
