“Our research shows that through these challenging times, most ropers are still in the practice pen getting ready for the first jackpot back,” editor and podcast host Chelsea Shaffer said. “We want to do whatever we can to help ropers stay connected to their passion, and top cowboys and cowgirls in the industry have jumped on board to help us.”

With five lessons already live, The Score’s seen a 90-percent retention rate on these special episodes, meaning ropers are devouring the content at well-above industry averages. Thousands of ropers have already listened to each episode.
