Abstract:
An apparatus for use in roping skills training and practice provides a practical, effective, lightweight, and economical alternative to using live animals for heeling practice, which involves the roping of the hind legs of the animal. This apparatus includes a simulated animal torso and a pair of simulated hind legs. The apparatus includes a support frame and a drive system. The drive system includes mechanical links that provide interconnection between the pair of simulated hind legs and the drive system, thus providing for lifelike and coordinated leg and torso movement.

Claim (Index 11):
The apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein the drive pulley includes:\n a split pulley, having at least two different diameters, a drive belt, connecting the split pulley to a power source, and a spring loaded tensioner, configured to provide adjustment of the tension of the drive belt, such that by adjusting a position of the drive belt from a first diameter on the split pulley to a second diameter on the split pulley, a gearing ratio between the split pulley and the power source changes.
