Long Shot

HOW do these guys do this?! It's like a fly fisherman ballet, lol. They throw a rope that curls up in the air and, somehow, it comes down to wrap itself around one or both of the horns or one or both of the feet of the cow. Incredible! I've said this before and I'll say it again - I challenge you to try riding a horse through a gathering of riled up cattle and throw a lasso up in the air while both you and the cows are in motion as you segment out your target amongst the scattering herd - and expect to capture your target! The years and years of practice that they must spend in order to be able to perform these incredible actions. These guys amaze me!
