I know absolutely nothing about lassoing, but my common sense guess is that you are typically aiming at a moving target, so you want to keep the lasso as ready as possible so you can throw it the second you’re ready.

Yep, that's it. Not only are you aiming at a moving bobbing target (whether it's the head or horns or both back legs) you are on a galloping or cantering horse with a mind and cadence of its own. Maybe he gets distracted and maybe on uneven ground.

Many moving parts!
