How to Find a Trick Roper

A trick roper uses a lariat or lasso to perform stunts for entertainment purposes. She may dance while moving the lariat around herself or may even run while twirling the lariat at high speeds. A trick roper can be hired for parties, events or rodeos for entertainment between contests. Some rodeos hold a trick-roping contest. Finding a trick roper to hire can be accomplished through a Western performance arts association, by calling a rodeo or by calling the local chamber of commerce to find the name of a trick roper for hire in the area.
