"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 -

Nick Dowers joined me Tuesday night Nov 15, 2022 for an evening of understanding the why, how, and who influenced Nick to rise to the top of the game in an arena that wasn’t always about a willing horse at a high performance level, just as long as the horse went through the motions they could win. Personally this is what I’ve always wanted to see, the kind of horsemanship that didn’t resort to gimmicks and shortcuts to make a top horse. I’ve seen it done in the past watching Ray Hunt, Bill Van Norman, and a handful of others. It inspired me. I’ve experienced a taste of it enough to be convinced it can be done this way. Nick is proving it to everyone that there is a difference. ~ Martin Black This is a 2 hour session. Who and what helped Nick to get started? What does Nick credit for his success in such a short time? How does Nick’s 2yr old program help his show horses? How does the ranch work and open desert fit into Nick’s program?

Martin Black Tips and Tricks aired on June 28,2022Efficiency and safety. Those are the driving factors that separate a lot of the little things I want to share with people from what I see other people blunder through. When I see a practice that takes longer to get to the same place, or with more risk, I try to analyze if there could be a more efficient safer way of doing things. There’s a lot of things, to me that are elementary horsemanship that I was taught as a child and yet I see people that have been around livestock a lot that still don’t operate in the way I’m talking about. It’s not about being fast necessarily, efficiency is about not wasting time or effort while doing something. Being around livestock is risky, but it can be calculated risk. And I like to minimize the risk to me, the livestock, and the people around me, and these are the things I would like to share.Enjoy this 2 hour unedited virtual sessionWatch a preview of this session: -

Frank Barnett joined Martin Black on February 8, 2022 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.They have been featured together in Western Horseman, December 2019 read more here Enjoy this 2 hour unedited virtual session Watch a preview of this session: -

How to Stay CoolJoin the founders of EBH (Evidence Based Horsemanship) Dr. Steve Peters and Martin Black as we kick off the first of 4 EBH Virtual Clinics this year. You may have heard about dialing up the energy in a horse that is plodding along or dialing down the energy in a horse that is high strung. 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 to be on the right neurochemical mix for your relationship and horsemanship. Let Steve and Martin show you the science behind "How to be Cool" for you and your horses.Have a look at this video with Martin Black and staying cool no matter the job or the speed you ask of your horse. This is the original unedited virtual session - 2 hours long with the founders of Evidence-Based Horsemanship. Yours to own and watch any time you like. Watch a preview of this session: -
