Martin Black is a 5th generation Idaho rancher and 4th generation rodeo competitor. He has a lifetime of experience in handling horses, cattle and roping. In his youth there was a strong influence of the California-Spanish style of horsemanship. He has earned money in stock hose events, NRCHA events, rodeo events, and more. His basic philosophy is to “build the horse’s confidence in everything he does. A confident horse is more capable in competition and less likely to injure himself. A confident horse is more willing to learn, and more comfortable to ride.”

 

Martin has realeased several educational DVDs produced by Eclectic Horseman including "Colt Starting Philosophy". "Working Cattle in the A Pen - An Introduction", and his recently released and critically acclaimed Bridle Horse Series
