I just finished viewing this really excellent DVD about ranch roping. My friend Emily Kitching writes about the DVD series with the greatly respected cowboy Martin Black:
“Martin Blacks 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 DVD, 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 DVD, shot on the historic Alvord Ranch with the beautiful Steen mountains in the background, addresses the questions raised by the first DVD. 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. Martins 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. Martins unique insight and perspective will benefit both the experienced ropers and beginners alike. These DVDs can be studied individually but as a set, they are much more comprehensive. Running time 2 hours 30 minutes.”
