What kind of training does a paint horse need for calf roping?

Any horse, no matter the breed, will be trained basically the same way. Before you can specialize for individual activities your horse must be well broke or what I refer to as 'push button' or 'dead broke'. This means responds to leg, rein, seat and voice commands. Takes correct leads, proficient at flying lead changes, backs on a loose rein, can move laterally on command, and should not be younger than 4 years old.* When the horse is seasoned enough to execute the above manuvers he is ready for specialized training. He first needs to get used to a rope being thrown from his back. He needs to feel at ease in the starting chute. When these are accomplished it's time to bring in the calf. Your roping horse won't appear suddenly. It's months of repetition and practice. It really is hard work but keep at it and have fun.
*Calf roping is a very strenous sport for horse and rider both. If started too young your horse may damage joints and/or tendons, ect. Better to wait for the youngster to mature a little. I have never heard of a horse being ruined by training too slowly.
