We all found the clinic very informative in a relaxed learning atmosphere. The ranch roping clinic was hosted at Red Lodge Guest Ranch by Dale & Wendy Bradshaw. We had three cowboys teaching us, Dale Bradshaw, Jim Cumberland and Rob Purdy. We all are wanting to book another clinic this fall. If you want to book with us or book your own clinic let me know!
