Abstract
An apparatus for roping practice includes a steering shaft drivable and rotatable by a head model, a steering link drivable by the steering shaft, and a pair of front wheels drivable and rotatable by the steering shaft via the steering link to steer the apparatus. Accordingly, a first user (e.g., a header) can rope the head model and proceed to pull the apparatus along a support or ground surface so that a second user (e.g., a heeler) can subsequently rope hind legs of the apparatus to simulate a live team roping. The first user can apply a lateral force to the head model with the rope to turn the head model which causes the front wheels to turn and thereby steer the apparatus to turn with the first user as the second user prepares to rope the hind legs.
