Roping School Planned at Woodland you would like to sign up. Special incentives are offered offer-ed for families to participate. For each additional member of a family to sign, $50 will be deducted. Gibbs and partner Dave Larsen went to El Paso, Texas to collect their Cor-rients Cor-rients steers earlier this winter and they guarantee a good experience for class . members, Gibbs says.

You have to bring your own horse in addition to the $250 registration fee (if you pay by Friday, May 20. Otherwise, it's $275.)
