THE RICHEST TEAM ROPING COMPETITIONS IN THE INDUSTRY

Deeply rooted in Western tradition, team roping attracts more competitors than any other rodeo event. Thanks to Global Handicap’s unique handicap system that levels the playing field, everyone—from amateurs chasing their first win to seasoned professionals—has a place to compete.

From grassroots jackpots to national championships with millions at stake, team roping is more than a sport. It’s a lifestyle built on grit, partnership, and the relentless pursuit of the next big win.

Equine Network supports four team roping associations with over 100,000 competitors and $100 million paid throughout the year. Its preeminent association, the World Series of Team Roping Finale hosts the richest quarter horse event in the world, awarding more than $20 million at its annual championship.
