A lariat having dissimilar flexibility to facilitate greater ease and efficiency in "dallying" or snubbing the handling and tail end around the saddlehorn and yet maintain sufficient rigidity and stiffness in the noose or loop to facilitate heading and heeling a steer. In a preferred embodiment a selected length of the "dallying" end extending the tail of the lariat is constructed with greater flexibility than the remainder of the lariat, including the noose or loop, to facilitate this objective. Creating a greater flexibility in the "dallying" end of the lariat facilitates a more efficient and rapid snubbing of the "dallying" end to the saddlehorn, with less chance of injury to the roper's fingers and thumb, than has previously been thought possible. A method of constructing a lariat having dissimilar flexibility in the noose or loop and the handling or tail end to facilitate more efficiency and speed in "dallying" or snubbing the handling end to a saddle horn in a roping operation.
