Quote from some of the Master Horseman Kip clinics with. Buck Brannaman, "You won't find anyone better than Kip." Ray Hunt, "Kip is so smooth in saddling a young colt the for the first time" |
Born and raised in Montana. He has spent the last 27 yrs of his life working with and riding
horses. In addition to riding horses for the public Kip has also spent a considerable amount of
time cowboying on several large Montana ranches. Working for these ranches would include
starting colts, educating riding horses, and using then using these horses to care for and watch
over the cow/calf operations. Sometimes this would include up to 5000 head of mother cows, with
only him and one other working that part of the operation. During this time in his life is when he
met Buck Brannaman. After attending several of his clinics Buck offered Kip an opportunity to
work for him, and Kip graciously accepted. For the next 5 years Kip the his time with Buck on the

After having the opportunity to work for Buck, Kip felt that he needed to take the skills he had
learned and began applying them to client horses. Kip's main focus is starting colts under
saddle. He is used to working with a variety of breeds including but not limited to quarter horses,
thoroughbreds, warmbloods, gaited breeds, and mules. The horses he starts are used in many
different ways: From the modern sport horse for use in dressage, hunter/jumpers, three day
event, reining, working cow, cutting, to the working ranch and trail horse. Kip is a firm believer in
riding young colts and inexperienced horses outside where they can gain familiarity with all types
of terrains and be exposed to a variety of situations. There is a saying in our world, "So their
started, so they go." and it is so true. So if you want your colt started right the first time contact
Kip.
