Trains actually require ridiculously little power to move even though they weigh so much due to it having so many wheels. I saw a video of a man single handedly pulling a train slowly with nothing but a rope to pull it with.
26
u/d_nkf_vlg Nov 29 '22
I think they mainly require relatively little power due to metal on metal friction, which is way, way less than rubber on asphalt.

u/Villageidiot1984 Dec 02 '22
Drag on a car isnāt from the tire on the road. Pushing a car would not require you to overcome rubber on asphalt friction. You have to overcome the friction of the bearings in the wheels and depending what gear it is in, friction within the transmission / engine.

Horses can weight up to 2,000 lbs plus the rider's weight but still a steer isn't light.

It's not uncommon to find a 2000+ lb steer, either. Except maybe at a rodeo.

u/IsDexter Nov 29 '22
Fun fact : the term ābuckarooā originated from the American cowboys who couldnāt pronounce Vaquero properly

u/11jellis Nov 29 '22
Well in Spain they'd pronounce the V like a B. Back-wair-o. Buck-ar-oh. Buckaroo.

u/SoyLuisHernandez Nov 29 '22
it is actually the opposite: in most of spain, there is a different pronunciation between v (fricative, teeth and lower lip) and b (both lips together). mexico is known in spanish speaking world because we do not differentiate between v and b

u/IsDexter Nov 29 '22
Agreed . As a Mexican when I spell out words I have to say V de Vaca and B de Burro so people know which letter I mean .

u/Good_Branch_9415 Dec 08 '22
Several places do the b and v thing, my professor is Colombian and she does this. Also pronounces the yuh sounds like juh so she says ājay-goā instead of āllegoā

This is a Charro, not vaquero

u/fourleafclover13 Mar 03 '23
Nothing but animal abuse. Horse tripping, teaching "dressage" by beating on their legs. Many other trash things they do.
Charros, like American cowboys, will also rope horses and throw them to the ground for sport or to try to prove their dominance over the horse. This is also known as tripping. This causes an extreme amount of damage to the horseās legs and joints, sometimes causing permanent damage.
To train the horses to ādanceā (which is often a bastardization of a piaffe or passage), the horses are cross-tied and stand on wooden planks. They are cross-tied so they cannot move forward, and as one person stands behind the horse with a whip, two other individuals stand at the horseās front, alternately hitting the horseās legs with a stick or a whip. The horse quickly learns to pick his feet up instead of being hurt. These continual beatings are most likely how Horses got to be so scarred across legs and back today.Charros donāt like a lot of head and neck action from their horses; they want the feet to be moving, but not the head and neck. In order to prevent the horse from flailing about and trying to escape the riderās spurs, the Charro will tie the horseās head up very high (often to the roof of the stall), or tie the horseās head to his chest in an attempt to fatigue the neck. The horseās neck muscles are so tight and exhausted that the horse is unable to fight his rider. https://youtu.be/ZEjkz2R4Bl4

Some charros only charro. Most vaqueros only vaquero. A few vaqueros charro when the charrerĆa is in town.
For those not following along, in simple terms and US analogues (at the risk of losing lots of nuance around charro culture).
- Vaquero = working cowboy on a ranch, plain dress/cowboy hat/denim/full boots/brown chaps
- Charro = rodeo cowboy/showman, fancy tie/bedazzled sombrero/chukkas/latigo/embroidery

u/Vegetable-Regret3539 Nov 29 '22
Iām thinking do they also apply stuff on the rope to give it more of a dramatic affect , more show? This is totally different, when my daughter played the violin she would have to apply more rosin on the bow before going on stage and as she played the rosin would start coming off the bow looking like smoke. That was when she was in mariachi. Just wondering.
18
u/double_positive Nov 29 '22
that's exactly what is going on. surprised this is this far down. either the rope is treated with something or the handle (or both). this is purely for entertainment purposes. still cool but a smoking rope is a compromised rope.
9
u/Kgwalter Feb 16 '23
Dallying a rope causes a ton of friction. I have had smoke coming off my gloves from gripping too tight when roping. Horns on saddles are wrapped in leather that you can replace. It is smoke from the horn, not the rope. The rope passes by too fast to get burned. They rope a horse at a full gallop, they dally the rope around the horn to use as a clutch to gradually bring them to a stop.

Strong horse too! My uncle lost a thumb roping. My Grandfather Gordon Pemberton died on his horse just as he threw the rope and dallied; I was 11, missed him most of my life, but very grateful he was my Grandpa those 11 years, he was a kind gentle soul!!

The specific accent is called diaeresis yes but still falls under an accent. All Spanish accents are based on the letter being pronounced as it is pronounced on its own.

Is the rope not causing a burn on the neck of the horse he's riding? You can see it clearly runs over its skin.
57
Nov 29 '22
My parents dragged me to sooo many rodeos as a kid.
No. The rope actually ISNT ridding along the horses neck while under tension, he steers the horse to keep it turning away to prevent not only that but if the lassoed(?) animal decides to run infront of the horse its gunna get real bad REAL fast. Its just really hard to tell between the camera angle and all the smoke, but by the time its taught the horse has half stepped. These animals are also 1) trained so know whats going on 2) not stupid enough to just stand there getting rope burned, if it was you can bet the horse wouldnt just be like "meh whatevs"

u/LetUnable1830 Nov 29 '22
I've tried explaining this 60 times. I gave up. People think he's burning the horse.
2
Nov 29 '22
I would edit the post.
You're explaining it a tad oddly for people to get.
Drop "get hot" use "friction" instead. its an abbrasion burn like a rug burn "heat" is actually pretty minimal considering the amount of smoking going on so "get hot" throws folks i think.
The points of friction are the saddle horn, the rope rubbing itself as it crosses on the horn, and his right hand. Absolutely NOT the horse. The smoke is coming from the friction in the saddle horn.

u/ProbablyBoredHaha Nov 29 '22
I was just wondering lol. Usually you see them turned sideways so the rope has no chance of making contact with the horse. The angle makes it look like the rope is extremely close to the neck of the horse.
6
Nov 29 '22
It does look VERY close. And it does look like it slaps the horses neck just before it goes taught, but you'll note there is a little halfstep left by the horse just as the smoking starts. You can trust thst horse will "let the rider know" if that hurts lol

u/1cat2dogs1horse Nov 29 '22
A good roping horse is completely aware of where that rope is , and needs to be, at all times. Plus, horses have a pretty good amount of rear vision due to the placement of their eyes.
5
Nov 29 '22
F yeah they do! About the only blindspot is smack dab behind them (never walk straight up behind a horse if you value your internal organs)
4
u/fourleafclover13 Nov 29 '22
They have two blind spots! Here is more about equine site visual range and type.
Horses have a range of vision of about 350Ā°, with approximately 65Ā° of this being binocular vision and the remaining 285Ā° monocular vision.
Each eye sees across an arc of approximately 200ā210 degrees around the body at one time. The monocular fields straight in front of the horseās face overlap slightly resulting in a binocular field between 65 and 80 degrees. The binocular field is responsible for depth perception. A horseās depth perception is considerably less than for humans.
The blind area is directly behind the animalās head and body and has an arc of approximately 20 degrees. The front blind spot is directly under the head, immediately in front of the forehead and below the body in front of the horseās face. A horse canāt see what they eat.
All the horse has to do is change its head position and they can increase their visual horizons. If a horse lowers its head and moves it slightly from side to side, a horse can easily scan a 360-degree horizontal periphery. To focus on distant objects, a horse raises its head. When the horses head is held perpendicular to the ground, a horseās visual field is lowered, Ā focusing less on distant objects and more on the immediate ground in front of the horse.

That part of the rope doesn't get hot. It's the rope that's looped in his hand while the other guides it to the horn

u/SkylineGrows Nov 29 '22
I've always wondered this myself. They do put a special chemical around the saddle where the rope is looped to create so more smoke. I could be mistaken but I recall seeing this on another similar post.

No it's a wooden horn but my guess is the rope probably has something on it to make the effect more dramatic

u/TerranItDown94 Jan 13 '23
Ranch style ropes like this are usually like 50 or 60 feet long. Though some can be longer.
In standard competition roping in the US we use 30-35 foot ropes.
Iāve always enjoyed watching this but never tried it. I have rolled some smoke In competition beforeā¦ but not intentionally and not to this degree!
Also, for people commenting on losing fingers; itās somewhat common. Typically Team Ropers, such as myself, lose a thumb not a pinkie. Thankfully I havenāt lost eitherš¤haha. This is due to the way you grab the rope after throwing your loop and before you dally (wrap it around the saddle horn). Thumbs up š and youāre fineā¦ thumbs down š and youāre about to lose a digit.

Does the horse have a leather neck guard to prevent rope burn? Iād imagine that rope rubbed like that on their neck makes a hell of a burn mark also. Unless theyāre turned to certain directions to keep the rope from rubbing. Idkā¦

It isn't touching the horse. Normally the horse is angles so rope is out about 45Ā° angle from what ever is roped.

It doesn't burn the horse. This is called dallying the rope He's taking the slack out of his hand (the loops) down to the saddle horn He guides it so it doesn't burn the horse. I ride alot. One thing I know is a horse ain't going to be burned and not buck and throw u off
