Abstract: A roping practice device for training headers and heelers is provided. The present training device generally comprises a vehicle-pulled sled unit, a pivotal vertical support unit, and a main frame unit, pivotal about the vertical support unit to allow for offset positioning of the main frame to mimic the natural inclinations of a steer to swing around a corner. The main frame comprises a pivoting frame from which depends a pair of hind legs. A drive means and linkages are provided to rock the legs back and forth and to move the rear of the animal up and down. A linkage for rocking the legs is adjustable and provides a roper the ability to alter the starting point at which the legs rock, thereby allowing the roper to mimic the natural inclinations of a steer to run up the rope and drag.
