Hooley-ann is a rope throw, made either from the ground or horseback and would require a long explanation, but it is fast and a head catch.

Hoolihan is the act of leaping forward and knock a steer down =rather than twisting it's neck. It is barred at most rodeo. However, hoolihan is also to throw a party or paint the town read. In the context of Old Paint, it is generally thought to mean going to Montan' and have a party at the end of the trail drive.
