Wednesday, April 19, 2017 — Red Bluff Daily News 13 TIE-DOWN ROPING is event starts with the roper and his horse back in the box. e cowboy carries a rope in one hand and a "piggin" string" in his mouth. When the cowboy nods, the chute opens and the calf gets a head start. e cowboy throws a loop over its head; his horse stops and pulls the rope taut while the cowboy jumps off, dashes down the rope, lays the calf on the ground and uses the piggin' string to tie any three of its legs togeth- er. en he lis his hands to show he is finished and the field flag judge drops a flag to stop the clock. e horse is trained to keep the rope taut until the cowboy remounts and moves the horse toward the calf, giving the rope slack. If the legs stay tied correctly for six seconds, the run counts. 2016 Red Bluff Champion Clint Robinson, Spanish Fork, Utah 2016 Champion Tyson Durfey, Weatherford, Texas, $212,445 2017 Money Leader Marty Yates, Stephensville, Texas, $50,404 RED BLUFF 108 MAIN STREET, SUITE C BY RIVER PARK) (530) 527-1121 CORNING 965 HWY 99W, SUITE 135 (530) 824-8800 ANDERSON 2662 GATEWAY DR.
