How to Rope a Cowboy Toy

April 23, 2015 - posted by Rose Marion

If you’ve ever been dummy ropin’, you know how FUN it is… and you don’t need to be a team roper on a horse to have fun with it.

Stick a steer head on a bale of hay, or hook up a Smarty dummy to your 4-wheeler – it’s as fun as the real thing.

But what about when it’s raining, or it’s dark out? How you gonna rope then?

Here it is: The living room Cowboy Toy. Born in Texas, our customers LOVE these mini steers! They come with their own rope, interchangeable horns, and the legs even move like a real dummy steer, so you can head ‘n heel with the whole family. Craig had to show Curtis with ABC4 Utah how it’s done:

This tabletop roping dummy’s as fun as it looks!

Gotta have one? Get your own Cowboy Ropin’ Toy (and see their big brothers) at SMITHandEDWARDS.com in our Roping Dummy section.

If you haven’t seen someone rope the Shorty ropin’ dummy, you’ve gotta checkout our Dummy Ropin’ we did back on Valentine’s Day! Click here to see some Dummy Ropin’ Pictures.

How to Put a Speed Burner on a Rope

April 9, 2015 - posted by Rose Marion

A plastic speed burner will protect your honda while ropin.

We get asked how to put a speed burner on a rope pretty often – so here’s a 2-minute video showing you how to do it at home! Speedburners are so quick to put on & easy to use.

How to put a Speedburner on Your Rope

Red, White, and Blue plastic speedburners

Speed Burners come in different colors!

Like Marty showed, all you need is your speedburner, your rope with a honda (click here to see how to tie a honda), and a microwave with a cup of water. Some wide pliers will do the job – Marty uses a handy pair of channel locks.

Looking for Ropin’ Gear?

And Cowboy Toy ropin’ dummies let your rope in your living room, day or night & make a GREAT gift! Click to choose your ropin’ dummy toy color.

Dummy Ropin’ Photos

A few of the dummy ropin’ prizes!

Smith & Edwards hosted our 1st Dummy Ropin’ on Valentine’s Day, February 14.

We’re glad everyone who came had such a great time!

There were 3 rounds and a range of ages participating…. and some GREAT prizes, from Smith & Edwards gift cards to ball caps and patches from Smart Roping, Fast Back Ropes, Bailey, Bex, and more.

It was a ton of fun for the adults who came. And it was even more fun to see the kids having a blast, whether they brought their own rope & gloves or they were trying their hand at ropin’ for the first time.

What do you think? Should we make a Dummy Ropin’ a Smith & Edwards tradition like the Gun Auction?

On a phone? click here to see the photo gallery!

Need a Ropin’ Dummy in YOUR Back Yard?

You’ll find 4-wheeler roping dummies, Shorty the Steer, and even tabletop roping dummies on our site! Click the picture to shop.

So now you’re probably thinking, Hey, I need one of those roping dummies!

Well, they are a ton of fun. The one you saw is available in green and black. It uses 8 wheels and is real easy to push on a flat floor. We built our own chute-launcher, you can see in the gallery. I bet you could come up with a system that works for your family to use.

The dummy used is a Shorty Dummy by Smart Roping out of Texas. Click here to see all our roping dummies.

You can find LOTS of tack & gear, from jeans and jewelry to stirrups and headstalls, online at SMITHandEDWARDS.com.
