ABSTRACT:
A roping training appartus is adapted to simulate on a fixed platform the relative movement between a rider and an object to be roped in certain roping maneuvers, particularly heading and heeling in Dally team roping. The roping training device includes an elongated roping target and a mount simulator for supporting a trainee in a riding position within a desired training distance range from the target body. The target body is mounted on a target body pivot mechanism to allow the roping target body to pivot about a substantially vertical target rotational axis and the mount simulator is mounted on a mount pivot mechanism enabling the mount simulator to pivot about a substantially vertical mount rotational axis. The mount rotational axis and the target rotational axis are offset a desired initial heeling separation distance along an X coordinate axis and a desired initial heading separation distance along a Y coordinate axis, the X and Y axes being substantially perpendicular and defining a horizontal plane. A pivoting arrangement is connected to both the roping target and the mount simulator for pivoting the roping target body about its rotational axis and the mount simulator about its rotational axis, each a simulating angular displacement in the same rotational direction to simulate the relative movement between a rider and an object to be roped to simulate certain roping maneuvers.
