Page 10 Wednesday, April 15, 2015 Red Bluff Daily News team roping This event has a header and heeler working together to move in precise coordination. They and their horses start in the "box". When the header nods, the chute gate opens and the steer gets a head start. The header throws the first loop, which must catch the steer 's head or horns, protected by a horn wrap. Then header dallies — wraps his rope around his saddle horn — and moves his horse to pull the rope taut, changing the direction of the steer. That gives the heeler the opportunity to catch both of the steer 's hind legs with his own rope; most heelers try to time their throws to catch the legs when they are in the air. After the catch, the heeler also dallies, to stop the steer. When the ropes are taunt and both horses face the steer, the time is recorded. 2014 World Champ 2015 Money Leader 2014 Round-Up Clay Tryan and Jade Corkill have started 2015 where they left off in 2014.
