Team roping remains one of the many popular rodeo sports beloved by millions as participants or spectators. Along with being the solitary team sport, the event is also the only professional rodeo activity that allows women to compete as female teams or paired with a male teammate. Roping is a timed event involving two Western athletes. One ropes a steer around the horns, around the neck or one horn and the nose. The first rider then turns the animal to the left to provide easy access to the rear of the animal. The other rider endeavors to capture both of the animal’s hind feet. In the United States, championships are held throughout the year, and the Cowboy Lifestyle Network keeps fans informed of the latest rodeo events and results.
