Abstract
A training aid for calf roping comprises a calf shaped body supported by horizontal and upright skid runners. The runners hold the body above ground to be pulled along as a roping target for a calf roper. The calf shaped body includes a head portion that is tapered smoothly from a forward body end to a nose end. When a loop from a lariat is passed over the head and pulled rearwardly, the body will respond by rocking rearwardly. As the body rocks rearwardly, the head moves from a forward position to a rearward position wherein the nose end points rearward and the body rides on the upright skids. The loop is then released as it slides rearwardly over the tapered head. Once the loop has been released, a continued forward pulling force against the body will rock the body back into a normal position.
