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 working ranch horses to FEI dressage competition horses, to hunter/jumper horses. Kip also enjoys using these horses in local ranch roping competitions. Kip is a firm believer in riding young colts and inexperienced horses outside in the mountains where they can gain familiarity with all types of terrains and be exposed to a variety of situations.

In addition to training horses, Kip has a growing clientele for whom he conducts private clinics. He has led clinics in Illinois, Texas, California, and Montana.
