ABSTRACT:
A mechanical device having the general appearance of a steer for use in practicing steer roping. The device consists of a base section having a pair of spaced wheels mounted at the back thereof and a body section having at least one wheel mounted at the front thereof. The base and body sections are interconnected so as to permit pivotal movement of the body section relative to the base section about a forwardly directed generally horizontal axis in order to give the body section a life-like lean attitude when roped by the horns and towed by a horse. An inertia motor is mounted on the base section and connected to the drive wheels for powering the device. A pair of springs interconnect the base and body sections in order to bias the body section in a generally upright position. Means are also provided for accelerating and launching the device, thereby accelerating the inertia motor for continued movement of the device after launch.
