Thanks for the advice. My little guy is just gonna be 7 this fall, so I guess he starting plenty young.

Get him a plastic head ya can stick in a bale of hay & a kid rope & see if ya can find someone to show him how to practice right. If you live around any kind of ranch country there will be people roping & glad to teach him if he really want's to learn. He will get to push cattle & use a hot shot, 7yr old's love that!!
