Best Answer

You can start a younster roping a dummy at an early age 5-6. However it takes real time in the saddle to learn the horsemanship nessessary to safely begin to rope. The strength it takes to throw and tie a calf is about 14 years old. Where girls break away rope in High School they can start at around 12. It's more important that your child learns to love to rope, rather than pushing to early and then they burn out early.
