Today was the last day of the clinic.

It
was a great watching the horsemanship of

mos
t of the people there. They not only could ride but they could rope very well. They used each situation as another opportunity to train their horse.

We spent a lot of time using the over-hand loop to catch steers
by the head. It was not a
good exercise for Wrangler Dave as the final score was Steers 4 - Wrangler Dave 0. Yes folks that is not a mistake! It was a learning experience though (maybe I shouldn't be a header - just kidding) as I just need more practice.
Next we moved on to heeling. I did much better at that actually going 3 for 4

. As this was the final session it was a good way to end to the clinic. Everyone is now scattered to the wind as they head home or to their next clinic or branding or ?? I can tell you that I have not met a finer bunch of people who were always willing to help the other person regardless of their skill level. Thanks to all who helped me in the last few days.
