Informationen zum Autor Martin Black has stayed true to his Western roots and the time-honored approach to training horses since being raised in the Idaho, Oregon, and Nevada region of the Great Basin. He has competed successfully in rodeo, ranch rodeo, ranch-roping, and cow-horse events across America. His ability to develop feel and timing with his horses is uncanny. Having learned from the likes of Tom Dorrance and Ray Hunt, Black is well-suited to carrying on this traditional approach to horse training. He divides his time between the Alvord Ranch in Oregon, and his winter-time home near Sanger, Texas. Inhaltsverzeichnis Dedication and Acknowledgments ...3Foreword ...5Introduction ...61.
