You're probably right. But I would like for him to be able to drag stuff. I'm just leery of dallieing up to my saddle. The trees not strong enough. Charlie has a roping saddle. I figured once he was use to it, I could drag stuff, but it probably wouldn't be enough to do much for building him up since I can't dally.
But I have thought about it. When Charlie does alot of roping his horse butts really get alot of good muscle definition.

I wonder if that wouldn't be from coming out of the chute so hard, rather than from the actual roping, coz from what I can tell, after the steer is roped, most of their pulling is done while backing up, and it's not even that far. But then, I'm no cow horse expert either. ;o)
