HEAD HORSE CRITERIA
1. Approach and Entry to the heading box: horse should ride to the box quietly and obediently, remaining relaxed
as the barrier is strung. Horse should willingly turn either direction with no resistance, keeping all four feet on
the ground. Horse should back calmly into the corner and be prepared / positioned for the run.
2. Initiate the run / Break from the Box: Horse should score with all four feet on the ground, and leave the box
smoothly and flat off the roper’s hand. Horse must run through the barrier with no hesitation. Points will be
deducted for a broken barrier.
3. Run & Rate: Horse should run hard to position, then rate once they have reached the roping position as cued by
the rider. Once the steer is roped, horse should remain framed and in position to handle the steer.
4. Set & Handle: Horse should widen and set steer, with-out dropping a shoulder or drifting down the arena.
Horse should remain framed, as it and the rider tow the steer straight across the arena while maintaining good
speed and control of the steer.
5. Face: Horse must face on the forehand as cued by the rider, then move backwards with all four feet on the
ground, such as to remove slack from the rope.
6. Settle: Horse should now recognize that the run is complete, and stand calmly as the steer goes to the catch
pen. Horse must walk out of the arena relaxed.
7. Sharpness of the Run: This is a reward to a horse that allows the rider to complete the run in a timely manner.
Points will also be awarded to a horse that allows the rider to take advantage of a good opportunity, or one that
handles a bad situation well.
HEEL HORSE CRITERIA
1. Approach and Entry to the heading box: horse should ride to the box quietly and obediently. Horse should
willingly turn either direction with no resistance, keeping all four feet on the ground. Horse should back calmly
into the corner and be prepared/ positioned for the run.

with all four feet on the ground, and leave the box smoothly and flat off the roper’s hand.
3. Run & Rate: Horse should haze the steer as necessary, including adjustments of speed and position depending
on the steer’s pattern. Once the steer is roped by the header, the heel horse should drop back to become
positioned for entry into the corner, on the rider’s cue.
4. Corner Entry & Position for Delivery: Horse should turn through the corner, with shoulder elevated, and place
itself, such that the rider is positioned to the left of the steer’s hip. Horse should maintain a proper frame, and
distance from the steer, so as to not crowd the roper’s delivery. Anticipation of the “Stop” prior to the heeler’s
delivery will result in a deduction of points for this Element.
5. Stop: Horse should prepare for the stop as the heeler delivers his rope, and come to a complete stop as the
heeler dallies and awaits the headers face. Horse should stop on the hindquarters, remaining square to the
steer, until the header is faced, and / or the run is complete.
6. Settle: Horse should now recognize that the run is complete, and stand calmly as the steer goes to the catch
pen. Horse must walk out of the arena relaxed.
7. Sharpness of the Run: This is a reward to a horse that allows the rider to complete the run in a timely manner.
Points will also be awarded to a horse that allows the rider to take advantage of a good opportunity, or one that
handles a bad situation well.
