Etiquette and Animal Handling
Our first goal is safety!
At the Cochrane Roping Club safety of the horses, cattle, and riders is paramount.
No rough handling of cattle or horses will be tolerated. If mishandling does occur, members will be asked to remove themselves from the arena. If it happens a second time, members will forfeit their annual membership and any additional fees paid.
At every roping the Cochrane Roping Club board members are in attendance and are responsible for the welfare of our roping stock and the safety of our members and will make safety calls at that time.
Any physical or verbal abuse of CRC members will not be tolerated and result in removal from the club.
Cochrane Roping Club Arena Etiquette
Be respectful of your surroundings when warming up/roping. Pay attention to your fellow ropers/riders, assure arena is clear before asking for your steer.
Individuals participating in a roping practice or a jackpot MUST help wrap, unwrap, push up cattle, and bring in cattle/turn out cattle in order to rope.
To assure heelers get a fair practice it is recommended if headers miss more than 2 steers in a row they place the rope on the steer in the chute.
During practice headers will ONLY pull steers to the far fence to help save cattle for the season.
Any physical or verbal abuse will not be tolerated and result in removal from the club.
