This picture of Jack was taken at the Rodeo in East Prairie, Mo in 1934.  His loop would  actually go over the horses head and the rider as well. He would start his roping loop with what is called a” butterfly” and continue feeding rope into the loop until he could rope the horse and rider. The timing of this trick was critical.
