English term or phrase: the healer
Sigo con la película sobre caballos y ahora resulta que están en un rodeo. Un chico le enseña a una chica a lazar novillos (porque están participando en lazado en parejas) y le dice:

"After the header--
that's me...
...gets his horns,
you--the healer--
are going to find
an opening
and try to rope his legs."

Algún término en especial para aquella persona que laza las patas del novillo?
Javier Moreno Pollarolo
United States
pialador
Explanation:
As noted in the discussion box, 'healer' should read 'heeler'.

'header' is 'lazador' and 'heeler' is 'pialador', as per the following webrefs:

Extract from p. 18 of the REGLAMENTO DE RODEO DEL MUNICIPIO DE TIJUANA, Baja California:
VIII.- Si se suelta la soga del lazador o pialador antes o en el momento de la indicación del juez de bandera, esa
pareja será descalificada.

"pialar" en glosario de términos gauchescos y criollos de Argentina:

Enlazar las patas del animal."pialar" en glosario de jergas y modismos de Argentina:

(rural) Acto de enlazar un vacuno o yeguarizo de sus patas delanteras, para derribarlo

So, even though the term 'pialador' comes from an Argentine reference, it is also used in Mexico (and maybe elsewhere, too).
