Crooked Creek Ranch Lessons....

Another great lesson in the CCR arena.

Teagan worked hard and we picked on the finer points... rein hand ~ as we always say " Rope with the right hand Win with the left" so important in so many ways!
Starting off the first swing... with precision and definition...

Teags and Leroy worked hard with drills and then put it altogether on cattle.

Great job Teags!!

Crooked Creek Ranch Lessons..

The Abbott family made the trip from Orange to have their first breakaway roping lesson.

We spent half the day in the CCR arena working on all the basic fundamentals.. both Tiana & Blake worked hard and roped great!

We worked on the ground, the horse saver and then roping the calf sled off horses.

Well done guys... I'm sure the arms were sore but you both did excellent 👏 exciting times ahead.

Crooked Creek Ranch Lessons...

Another great lesson in the CCR arena... we had a busy 2 days in the arena learning everything breakaway roping.

Tess drove down from Warwick QLD, and we packed alot in our lessons, with Tess only ever picking up a rope at home and watching some videos and getting a few pointers here n there.... we worked hard on understanding all the basic fundamentals, learning some fun drills, balance, rein hand, eye/hand coordination and so much more. With the help of "P2" , Tess got to rope the sled and CATCH her first calves out of the box... exciting times ahead!
