After having produced over 60 clinics at the NRS Training Center with over 1200 students, we have seen the great need for a team roper’s clinic that is dedicated purely to improving a roper’s horsemanship skills. We have seen that the best ropers are also the best horsemen. We believe that a roper should spend an equal amount of time and effort becoming a great horseman as he/she does in practicing their roping.

From our experiences at the training center we have realized that many people confuse “gentle” with “broke” when it comes to their horse. A “broke” horse is not just a horse that is quiet in the box, won’t spook, and is safe for your kids to ride. A “broke” horse works while collected, moves off your leg, pulls steers with the correct body position, squares up on the corner properly and much more. Will your horse bend and flex willingly, giving his nose wherever you ask? Will he do a “turn on the forehand?” A “turn on the haunches?” Can he sidepass? Will he back-up willingly the length of the arena while never pushing on the noseband? Will he break from the box in whichever lead you ask? Can he perform a flying lead change? These are all things that great rope horses can do and, more importantly, these are the things that great horseman teach their horses to do.

Sign up for this clinic and you will greatly improve your roping through becoming a better horseman. And yes, you will get to rope. Approximately 80% of the clinic will be spent without a rope in your hand, but we will finish each day roping cattle, putting to use our newly learned horsemanship skills.

This clinic is also great for non-ropers. Every aspect of what we teach at this clinic applies to any horse discipline. Whether you run barrels, team pen, work on a ranch or simply ride for pleasure, this clinic will greatly improve your performance and your enjoyment with horses.
