NOTE FROM OUR EDITOR
We've worked tirelessly to create essential reading for everyone who swings a rope or loves someone who does. Whether you're sitting down to read this magazine or browsing our digital offerings between meetings in town or in the passenger seat headed to the Northwest to try your luck at Pendleton, Ellensburg and Puyallup, I think you'll find something that will improve and inspire your dedication to the sport of team roping. Want to sharpen your timing around the corner on your heel horse or ride the start to a bigger payday on your head horse? The Team Roping Journal is the only place to find the critical tips to make that all happen, while at the same time providing the stories of the ropers, horses and events that make the team roping industry tick. — Chelsea Shaffer
