The genesis of Cascade Brook Farm in North Sutton, NH was actually in Southern Colorado. We had moved from North Sutton to Rio Grande County, CO for the dream of the old west. We experienced the dream every day. Living at nearly 9,000 feet in elevation, surrounded by 14,000 footers and blue sky as far as you could see. It was there that we learned to rope. To our great fortune, a local cowboy took us under his wing and "showed us the ropes". He knows more about horses and cattle in his little finger than we do in our entire knowledge base. He passed on as much as we could take in and for that, and his friendship, we are eternally grateful.
Even while we were living in cowboy country, we still had some "issues" - namely we are New Englanders and knew we belonged back in North Sutton, NH. We were lucky to be able to come home. But one thing loomed heavily and that was there was no roping. We had become addicted to roping as they say and that was one part of the dream we decided did not need to end. So with that said, we are taking our 100 acres and developing it into a farm with Team Roping playing a major role. We have a 250' x 160 Preifert roping arena complete with chutes, catch pens and holding pens. We try to keep only full blooded correintees in the pasture. This is a start. Now we hope to develop a community of ropers and hope that you would consider joining us in this wonderful and exhilarating sport.

Having a good rope horse is important. Particularly for a beginner. Trust me, I know. It was not to long ago when I was roping myself and my horse while the steer was merryily running down the arena. Being on a well broke rope horse just makes things a whole lot more fun.
Take a look at these rope horses. I have seen some rope horses that came out of this outfit and they were first rate.
