Frank Barnett joined Martin Black on February 13, 2024 for a virtual session discussing how to make a correction - Getting In and Getting Out - Balance and ReBalance An incredibly informative session on understanding how to change one footfall to make a difference. Martin and Frank have spent years working with colts, young horses and older horses in need of a new way of riding. They have learned what works and what doesn't. If you have ever ridden a horse and they have done something you didn't want and you want to "fix it", this is a clear virtual session with over 90 minutes of video and photographic examples. When Martin first meet Frank he wasn’t impressed by his horses. Frank always had some tough horses that were for the most part really bothered. But Frank had that dry cowboy sense of humor that brought Martin back for more visits. It wasn’t long before Martin realized that these nasty horses Frank was working were getting better. Frank wasn’t training these horses, he was setting them up to figure out things for themselves. They were given bad information by previous riders before Frank got them in his program. He was doing things that Martin hadn’t seen done before and having success bringing these horses around that many of “professionals” had failed with. Frank is also a walking encyclopedia when it comes to biomechanics of the horse, and everything written by the military and dressage Masters, or any other worthwhile books written on horses. Join these two lifelong horse scientists as they share with each other, and you, on how it all comes together for the horse. -

"When a horse's neck is raised from the base instead of where the head and neck are attached, the top of the neck pulls back and shortens. But I use this quite a bit when trying to establish the feeling that the weight of the head and neck is now on top of the front legs instead of in front of them. I'm not trying to make this my life's work just trying to take the privilege of pulling me out of the tack out of the equation. And yes, some hollowing of the back occurs. Once established if I lift on the corners of the mouth and try to raise the neck from where the head and neck attaches then neck extension is possible with the throat-latch open. Like other "eye brow raising" methods, make your point then get away from it and work your way back to something more conventional." ~ Frank Barnett Join us as Frank Barnett and Martin Black show and discuss the "how and why" with three different levels of horses young to experienced in the importance of knowing when to do what, make your point and get out. This is an opportunity to depending your understanding of the importance of knowing "the parts" to begin to apply the feel. $25 - lifetime access only with pre-registration.This two hour session will begin at 6-8PM Boise, Idaho Time Check your time zone here -

"If you are not stretching your comfort zone you are probably shrinking it." But it is not always that simple for us or the horse. You can get frustrated and spur and kick the horse to make them go and can yank and try to restrain that highly aroused horse, however in both scenarios, you and the horse are not in the optimal neurochemical state and emotional responses are actually preventing you both from getting where you need to be (homeostasis). January's EBH Virtual Clinic will dive deep into this subject to help you and the horse understand the steps to take moving forward, whether it be after an accident and you are fearful, getting back in the saddle after a long break. Learn how you can live life to the fullest with your horse. This is the original unedited virtual session - 2 hours long with the founders of Evidence-Based Horsemanship.
