This title introduces readers to roping, a timed rodeo event. Readers will learn the rules of tie-down, break-away, and team roping competitions, from tying the piggin' string in a hooey, dropping the flag, to the finish signals of cowboys, herders, and heelers. Sanctioning bodies such as the Professional Cowboy Rodeo Association (PRCA) are also introduced.
