Two Days.
Eight Core Skills.
Every roper works on what they need most. These are the foundations we build across the weekend — adjusted to meet you exactly where you are.
Rope Mechanics
The core principles of rope manipulation — how to build, deliver, and control your loop with consistency. This is the foundation everything else sits on.
Stockmanship & Positioning
Reading cattle, understanding pressure, and putting yourself in the right place at the right time. Ranch roping is half cow — we cover that half properly.
Horsemanship Foundations
While this isn't a horsemanship clinic, we work on the drills and principles that make your horse's job clearer. A horse that understands the work is a horse that helps you win.
Shot Troubleshooting
Every miss has a cause. You'll leave with a framework for diagnosing your own misses — and the self-training tools to keep correcting them long after this weekend.
Meet
John and Abby are leading the Francis clinic — bringing the same individual-focused 310 Edu teaching method to Spring Hollow.
They share the same teaching philosophy as Dalton: meet every roper exactly where they are, identify the specific pain points holding them back, and build the principles that let them keep improving long after the clinic ends.
Two days. Individual attention. Real progress you take home.

We've Got You.
