Martin Black brings his lifetime experiences of working with horses to the round corral with him. Safety and efficiency are high on his priority list along with developing a confident and willing horse in the process. He studies people and their relationships with their horses and puts it together with his experience from working with livestock to come up with a confidence-building agenda to prepare the horse and the person for whatever their needs are. He borrows whatever he can from whomever he can without prejudices of discipline or breed, as long as it follows his principles and works for the horse.
