Description
Roping has a rich and varied history. The origins of roping date back to the early 18th century. The American cowboy learned the use of la riata from the Mexican, and he shortened the name and called it lariat, which has become the accepted name among Americans.
During the mid 1800s, cowboys wore plain yet hardy boots for both comfort and protection while performing difficult labor; some owned dress boots, boots with more refined designs, for special occasions.
