Balancing on three feet is something that a horse rarely has to do in nature, but with a little time and patience it is a skill that can easily be developed. Martin Black offers some of his insight on handling a horse’s feet. Anyone who has trimmed or shod a horse knows how tiring it can be if the horse has a tendency to lean. However, this can go both ways and often the human is the first to lean on the horse. Martin demonstrates how to stay in close to the horse so that they can stay more centered in their balance and support their own weight. The length of this lesson is 12 minutes 18 seconds -

Join 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 for 2023. "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. Yours to own and watch any time you like. Watch a preview of this session: -
"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.

Martin Black’s family has been raising livestock on the same lands in Owyhee County in Idaho for over 150 years. The desire to maintain and preserve tradition runs deep within Martin. The “Classic Rodea Style Ranch Roping” video, the first of its kind, covering Great Basin style roping stirred up a lot of curiosity for the “real deal” and the questions started pouring in. This video, shot on the historic Alvord Ranch with the beautiful Steen mountains in the background, addresses the questions raised by the first video. Pull up a chair and join in as three of the top Great Basin ropers, John Schutte, Wade Black, and Martin, share their knowledge and humor with you in a relaxed, unrehearsed atmosphere. Martin’s library of old family photos and home movies , the knowledge and humor of three of the top Great Basin ropers along with exclusive music from Pedro Marquez makes this both educational and entertaining. You will enjoy several hours of detailed explanation in roping, horsemanship, stockmanship and much more. Martin’s unique insight and perspective will benefit both the experienced ropers and beginners alike. These videos’s can be studied individually but as a set, they are much more comprehensive. -
