A scene from the 1967 (USA) movie El Dorado...
El Dorado is an American Western film produced and directed by Howard Hawks and starring John Wayne, Robert Mitchum and James Caan.

Team roping also known as heading and heeling is a rodeo event that features a steer and two mounted riders. The first roper is referred to as the "header", the person who ropes the front of the steer, usually around the horns. The second roper is the "heeler", who ropes the steer by its hind feet after the "header" has turned the steer. Cowboys originally developed this technique on working ranches when it was necessary to capture and restrain a full-grown animal that was too large to handle by a single man.
Today there are tens of thousands of amateur ropers who compete for millions of dollars in prize money.
