Read full description

Steer Me is the team roping app built by ropers, for ropers. FIND A PARTNER Browse headers and heelers by classification number, role, and location — no more scrolling Facebook groups hoping someone posts. See who's looking, reach out, and lock in a partner before entries close. FIND EVENTS Browse upcoming ropings with real fliers, entry fees, division details, and producer contact info — all in one place, kept current. TRACK YOUR RUNS Connected to Draw Pro, the producer-side event management platform: see your draw position and partner assignment the moment the draw runs, follow round-by-round results live, and get notified the instant something changes — including if your partner has to scratch, so you're not the last to know. FOR PRODUCERS Post your event with a real flier, set your divisions and entry fees, and reach ropers who are actually looking for their next event. Built for the real logistics of team roping — finding a partner, finding a jackpot, and knowing where you stand once the draw's out. Terms of Use: https://steerme.ropingtools.com/legal
