Lol, I knew this was where you were going. Id say very samilar to dogs. A 6 month minimum in the pratice pen before they seen a rodeo. Some progressed fast others were slower. Just like any other animal if they love it they can do both. Enjoy being in the pen and enjoy just being a horse. I always thought of mine as a partner. If you watch Shane rope you can tell how much he loves that horse and he knows he wouldn't be near as successful without him.
