The Dallyup allows a team roper to realistically simulate the act of dallying without the risk associated with dallying on a live steer.

    Simply anchor the dallyup to your arena fence, yard fence or receiver hitch on the back of your truck. Attach a used rope to the spool (extra soft head rope works best) plug into a standard 110 volt outlet and the dallyup is ready.  

    Next, get mounted on your horse or seat yourself in a saddle on a saddle rack, facing the dallyup, coil your rope and hold the coils in your left hand while raising your right hand, just like you would if you were getting your slack on a heel loop. When you raise your right hand, this activates the dallyup and the rope will start running through your hand at about the speed of a medium running steer. You can dally at any time during this process.

    To deactivate the dallyup, give it a slack rope. You can stop the dallyup at any time just by dropping your rope. When the dallyup is deactivated, repeat the process as many times as desired.

    The dallyup allows you to concentrate and practice solely on the act of dallying without any other distractions. It gives you the repetitive action needed to develop muscle memory so that when you do have a live steer on the end of your rope, you won't have to think about the dally process, you will just react.
