Rodeo prop is a term used to describe the equipment used in rodeos. The most common props are LASSO (5 letters), BARREL (6 letters), RIATA (5 letters) and ROPE (4 letters). A LASSO is a loop of ROPE that is thrown around an animal or object, while a BARREL is a large container used for roping. A RIATA is a long ROPE with a loop at one end, and a ROPE is a length of fibres twisted together. All of these props are used in rodeo events to capture animals or objects.
