The purpose of the neck rope in calf roping is to keep the horse facing the calf... If the horse should spook it will be harder for him to run away with the calf with his neck being pulled back towards the calf

What is the short rope tied to the horn in pro calf roping?

There is no "short" rope necessarily tied to the horn. You have your rope that you rope the calf with which is tied "fast" to the horn. There is also what they call the "jerk line" which is tucked into the ropers belt and attached to the horses bit so when the roper runs to the calf it "bumps" the horse in the mouth which in turn encourages him to keep the rope taught.

You can start a younster roping a dummy at an early age 5-6. However it takes real time in the saddle to learn the horsemanship nessessary to safely begin to rope.
