Lessons are given by Mike Pharr.  Mike has 28 years experience in calf-roping.  Some of his accomplishments include; International Professional Rodeo Finals 1988 & 1989; multiple time finalist for the American Cowboy Finals and the Professional Cowboy Finals.

On occasion Mike's sons, Doug and Tim will help out with the lessons.  Doug was a National Finals Rodeo contestant in 2000, 2005 & 2006 and Tim qualified for the Dodge National Circuit Finals in 2001.  Both sons rodeo professionally across the United States.

If you've never roped before, Mike would start you out roping the "dummy".  When your loop is perfected, you would move onto horseback.  Time needed depends on the ability of the roper.  These lessons are on Wednesday evenings.

If you're ready to rope from a horse, those lessons are scheduled Wednesday & Thursday.  Please call for an hourly time slot.  Each lesson is $40. 

The folks at Lightning P Ranch takes pride in finding just the right horse to suit each rider. When you're ready to find a horse, we would be glad to help.
