I’ve written before about cowboy Martin Black who I consider one of the best cowboys around.
He has a new book out which I just completed and highly recommend. It’s one of the Western Horseman magazine series and is called Cow-Horse Confidence: A Time-Honored Approach to Stockmanship.
From Western Horseman’s description: “Cow-Horse Confidence gives an inside look at Black’s time-honored techniques for working horses and cattle. Black covers such topics as developing feel, learning to read cattle, using the “A” pen to train your horse, low stress trailer loading and ranch roping for work and fun. Illustrated with diagrams and more than 200 color photographs, many from the Alvord Ranch in Oregon, this book will improve your ability to understand and communicate with your horses and improve your stock-handling skills. 192 pages”
I like to think I know a little bit about handling cattle but I learned a lot from this book. He reveals tips that only come from a lifetime in the saddle and you will find it extremely helpful.
