Going back through the clicks from June 8th at the Riata Roundup in Lometa, Texas. There's a rider forward out of frame that does the initial roping 'takedown'. The two cowboys work as a team here..
Wide open at F/2.8, 1/1600th, ISO 2500, 1D M3, 300mm f/2.8 @ 10fps, no flash.
8:38pm in low light.

Great action shot.I have been to a few rodeos in my life and this one puts you right in the middle of the action.

Cool how you got him out of the stirrup, but not quite ready to jump

This is a great shot, Howard! I can see the anticipation in the horse's eye as well as the rider's.
