About us
The Last Roping Dummy You’ll Ever Need to Buy.
In the world of roping, there are no shortcuts. There is only dedication, precision, and the relentless pursuit of the perfect run. Your practice deserves a tool built with that same unyielding commitment.
We know the frustration because we’ve lived it. The splintered plastic of a so-called "durable" dummy after a few hard weeks. The unnatural swing that builds bad muscle memory. The sinking feeling that your time in the practice pen isn't truly preparing you for the split-second reality of a live steer.
This is the compromise the market asks you to accept. We believe it’s a compromise you should never have to make.
Laredo Roping Dummies was founded on a single, simple principle: Build it right, or don't build it at all.
We aren't a sporting goods company that decided to sell roping equipment. We are ropers, engineers, and craftsmen from the heart of Texas who were fed up with tools that failed us when we needed them most. We got tired of watching serious competitors waste their money and, more importantly, their valuable time on equipment that was designed to be replaced.
So, we set out to build the solution.
This Is Not Just Another Dummy. It's an Investment in Your Craft.
Every Laredo dummy is the result of a painstaking process of design, material science, and real-world testing in the dust and heat of the arena.
-
We Obsess Over Materials: We don’t use the standard, brittle plastics that crack under pressure. We use a proprietary, industrial-grade polymer blend engineered for extreme impact resistance and all-weather durability. This isn't a toy; it's a piece of professional training equipment.
-
We Engineer for Realism: A dummy should feel like a live run. Our designs are biomechanically modeled to replicate the authentic weight distribution, leg swing, and center of gravity of a live steer, ensuring every swing of your rope builds correct, repeatable muscle memory.
-
We Build for a Lifetime: The high price point of our dummies isn't an accident—it's a promise. It's the cost of using superior materials and American manufacturing to build a product that withstands years of relentless practice. You can buy five cheap dummies over the next decade, or you can buy one of ours. The choice is an investment in both your wallet and your future performance.
Our Philosophy is Simple: Respect the Roper.
We believe that the hours you spend in the practice pen are sacred. They are the foundation of every victory. To sell you a tool that undermines that effort is a fundamental disrespect to you and to the sport itself.
We don't answer to a board of directors; we answer to the men and women on the circuit who trust our equipment to prepare them for the money run. That is our only benchmark for success.
Thank you for considering Laredo Roping Dummies. We invite you to explore our collection and invest in a tool that finally respects your dedication.
Your journey to a better catch starts here.
