I
never laid any claim to being a roper, although I do enjoy tossing a loop now
and then. One thing you learn right away. . .there are different types of
throws to lasso a critter. One of the slickest is what old timers call the
houlihan. Most often used when the cowboy worked from the ground, it was a
favorite throw on cattle drives for roping the next horse out of the remuda. A
quick, accurate throw that doesn’t spook the other horses because they’ll be
the next in line to be caught.
