Three years ago, we started this Breeder’s Guide because we saw—way out on the horizon—the rising tide of the rope horse breeding industry building steam toward the shoreline. And now in 2022, with the explosion of the Riata Buckle, Royal Crown and the American Rope Horse Futurity Association, that tide is sweeping across the landscape of the roping business—driving up demand for great horses in short supply. The Team Roping Journal’s Breeder’s Guide is here to connect the dots.
