Rope horses have long been the workhorses of the Western industry—making seamless transitions from daywork to arena work, day in and day out, across the country.

From small ranchettes nestled in Arizona’s canyons to Big Sky Country’s vast expanses, rope horses have kept the sport of team roping alive while doing the legwork to keep the cattle industry and the Western way of life afloat, too, with little fanfare.

Once overlooked, with shaggy coats, big feet and wind-knotted manes, the rope horse has come of age alongside the team roping industry. Gone are the days of ‘good enough’ in today’s competitive team roping game.

Rope horses in 2024 need to be the cream of the crop: still able to handle long days in the saddle punching cows, but with the refinement and skill of the finest show horses in any event. Good bone, a keen eye, a strong topline, sloping shoulders and a deep croup set the standard for the modern-day rope horse, and it takes great breeders and dedicated horsemen and horsewomen to develop those qualities.

At Rancho Rio, we honor the timeless tradition of the rope horse, highlighting the best the industry has to offer for ropers of every skill level. We take great pride in being the premier location for ropers to showcase their elite horses, connecting the rope horse with the roper the way today’s booming sport deserves.
