  1. Welcome to CowPony Ranch team roping page. We will be offering a few good rope horses during the year..some I have trained, some I have started well enough for the experienced roper to compete on and finish themselves and some of my friends good horses. All horses will be completely evaluated for safety, disposition, training and tuned up accordingly. They will also be represented exactly as we find them, no hidden problems or vices. I like a horse that is friendly, quiet, laid back but with speed when asked or put behind a fast steer but also like a horse that will tie, bathe, clip and stand well for the farrier. Most of all they gotta LOVE to rope, or you will find them on the "family Horse" page instead of the Rope horse page!

This is "Marteeni", our gorgeous super gentle little heel/steer stopping/breakaway/lesson horse! She LOVES to rope and is excellent on trail. Marteeni is super laid back, cowy, gentle and kind. We have put 8 months of training into her and have been able to use her for beginner ropers to learn on! Marteeni is so quiet on cattle and in new places, she settles in easily and does great at the jackpots as well as JR Rodeos. She is pretty close to bomb proof at everything we put her through now. At home we can use her for beginners to learn to ride in the round pen, beginner ropers to rope lead steer and steer stop on and we are just now teaching her to actually head in case she needs to once in a while. She doesnt care, she just does what you tell her to because she loves to rope. When the beginners get her tangled up in the rope she isnt the least bit concerned, she is very patient and doesnt get upset if they are heavy on her face and kicking her accidentally. We just put her in a hackamore for the beginner ropers and a chain bit for more advanced to rope on to get more response. She will go either way. Marteeni has no vices, she clips like a dream, loves her baths, hauls quiet, no kick, bite, etc. You can pony her off another horse or pony other horses from her. We just put her first pair of sled shoes on just the rear to make her stops a little easier but those are not mandatory.

DOCS COOL QUIXOTE (SOLD)
AQHA, 6yr., 14.3h bay gelding.
I bought this horse at the age of 4.5yrs to train and use while my good mare was recovering from an injury for a year. After looking and calling on many finished horses........I decided to buy one that was slightly started and just train him myself. Unfortunately "Pony" wasnt started properly so I had to actually "untrain" him and then retrain him. He has such a passion for roping and cattle that it didnt take long for him to come around. I have hauled him to over 150 ropings since I bought him and competed on him at the 2007 ACTRA and CA. Shootout Finals all three days. He never runs out of steam when it comes to roping. He is super quiet in the box, leaves fast and flat, rates, makes a smoooooth corner, pulls anything you put behind him and faces super fast........then turns around and just walks back up the arena. "Pony" will rate back as far as you like or ride up close if you ask. He will also ride into the box and turn either way, move side to side, ride forward and back when you ask. He is very free in the box and just does what you tell him to (no freezing up or refusals). He is suited to a #5 USTRC and up but would really be a great rodeo horse. He is an awesome jackpot horse that can rope back to back steers in the short go and he just gets quieter in the box! He is sound, healthy and has no vices. He does need to be rode a couple times a week to be at his best.........NOT a weekend warm up horse for those who only rope and ride occasionally. This guy needs a serious partner so he doesnt go to waste. I can use him for my riding students to rope the lead steer, but would not sell him as a kids horse as he can move from side to side really fast when the steer moves. Pony clips, ties, trailers well, bathes easily, stands perfect for the shoer, loves children and people. He has a lot of personality and wont be sold until the right home comes along. Until then I will be using him in USTRC, R4R and CA. Shootout Ropings! Only selling because I have colts and a lot of other horses to ride and he needs to stay busy.

The pictures below include some of my lesson kids roping a lead steer on him, bathing him, picking up his back feet and jumping him (just for the fun of it). Although I would not sell him as a childrens horse at this time, I feel he has the potential once he gets a little more age on him. The kids that are riding him have learned to ride from me so I know they are experienced enough to handle his moves. There is also a picture of him helping me run the steers up into the lead up...........he holds them for me while I push them forward from the ground. Pony will stay there until I open the gate and call for him!
