About The Venue
Both clinics will take place in Cádiz. The horsemanship clinic at Rancho La Teja (visit their website here), and the stockmanship clinic, at a private finca that houses local cattle, in Montellano.
Nestled in the heart of Andalucía, Rancho La Teja is a renowned equestrian facility offering an authentic Spanish-American ranch experience. Founded by seasoned trainers Natalie and Oliver Kraft, the ranch blends traditional horsemanship with modern training, inviting visitors to participate in cattle work, trail riding, and more.
With its picturesque fields and oak-dotted landscapes, Rancho La Teja provides the perfect setting for skill-building and hands-on learning.
Horsemanship Clinic
This 3-day clinic is about going back to the heart of horsemanship: building a real connection with your horse, based on feel, timing, and clarity.
Through a combination of groundwork and ridden work, Martin Black helps riders understand how to observe, adjust, and communicate more effectively. You’ll learn to recognise subtle resistance in movement, unlock better responses, and develop a smoother, more respectful partnership - whether you're working on the ranch, in the arena, or anywhere in between.
This isn’t about showy techniques or tricks. It’s about learning to see the whole picture, becoming more present in the saddle, and helping your horse move with softness, balance and confidence.
Whether you're starting from the basics or refining your performance, this clinic offers something for every horse and rider looking to deepen their skills and understanding.
Stockmanship Clinic
Working cattle on horseback requires more than just skill - it takes feel, awareness, and respect for the animals you’re handling. In this 3-day stockmanship clinic, Martin Black shares a lifetime of practical experience in low-stress livestock handling, helping you become more confident, effective, and calm around cattle.
You’ll work in real conditions, learning how to read the herd, use your position and pressure with intention, and keep animals moving with minimal stress and maximum efficiency.
This clinic is ideal for ranchers, working riders, and anyone curious about developing their horsemanship through cattle work. Whether you’ve worked cattle before or it’s your first time, Martin meets each rider where they are - and helps them progress.

👂 Auditors are active participants, encouraged to ask questions and observe closely throughout.
🧠 Every session is designed to deepen your understanding of feel, timing, and balance, regardless of your riding background.
