About Martin Black
Being an Idaho rancher is in Martin Black's blood. Five generations on both his maternal and paternal sides his family have ranched in Owyhee County, Idaho. With this deeply-rooted tradition and the desire to honor and maintain it, along with the influence of other present-day horseman, he has studied different elements of horsemanship throughout his life.
What he looks for isn't just a style or particular method, but what works for the horse. "If it works, there must be a reason why; if it doesn't work, there must be a reason why."
Martin has competed in many cow horse events, and his earnings in reined cow horse, stock horse, camp drafting and rodeo events exceed $65,000.
