“A role reversal is underway,” Gentry said. “Horse show roping and futurity roping have always been a judged event, controlled by trainers and professional ropers. They do have the majority of the horses at this stage of the game. But if they have the horses, there is something that they need to get at those purses: They need numbered ropers. We never thought we would see the day when the pros and trainers are interviewing numbered ropers trying to fill the dance cards for their horses.”
