The Muddy River Classic, a USTRC-affliated roping, will be held February 17-19 in Memphis, TN. This roping is produced by our good friend Johnny Johnson of JX2M Productions and will feature a Heel-O-Matic practice pen to work out pre-competition jitters, tune up before the short-go and help get your horse working as best possible.
JX2M Productions is offering a unique opportunity to purchase Heel-O-Matics on-site for a show special of $2,995 (Ground-Driven Trainer), which saves you $350 in shipping! The machines will be ready to take home that day and use immediately in your practice regimen.
If interested, please contact Johnny Johnson directly at 423-340-0640 to reserve a machine and lock in this special Muddy River Classic rate.

We received an email just before the 2011 WNFR requesting an autograph sheet for Mr. Cooper’s young fan, Landon, who suffered two concussions as a young bullrider and is no longer able to compete in roughstock events. He’s picked up a rope and is confident he wants to be a team roper. Along with an autograph sheet, we sent Landon a personalized message from Mr. Cooper on how to make your dreams seem just a little bit closer.
Landon’s dad sent us a message back after receiving his package for Christmas and said,
“To see the expressions on Landon’s face and his Granny getting as excited watching his excitement, was very special..Thank you, very much…and thank you Mr. Cooper !!”
There’s no doubt in this business it is all about paying it forward. If Landon continues to work hard at his roping, there’s a great chance he’ll be in a similar position as Mr. Cooper some day, and can give encouraging words of advice to the next generation of exceptional team ropers.
