 Tying
Your Rope Up
Here is a neat way to tie up
your rope onto your saddle. Matt
Plumlee, saddlemaker and buckaroo from Eureka, Nevada likes to tie
his rope up with the saddle rope strap by taking two or three wraps
around the rope (counterclockwise from the on side of the saddle),
making a loop clockwise around the saddle horn, working the rope up
tight to the horn, and then buckling the rope strap buckle.
This method keeps your rope from loosely flopping around and
the rope can  also
be used as an emergency “night latch” in case your horse blows
up.
In order to keep your rope
ready for action, remember to coil the loop so that the honda is on
the outside of the coil and directly in front of the coil.
This allows you to take your rope down and build a loop
quickly.
