Kip Fladland was born and raised in Montana. He has spent the last 30+ years working with and riding horses. He has been a student of Ray Hunt and Buck Brannaman's style of horsemanship; working exclusively with Buck for 5 years. Kip's main focus is starting colts under saddle, working with problem horses, and conducting clinics. Many of the horses he has trained have progressed into careers in dressage, hunter/jumper, 3-day eventing, reining, cow work, cutting, and trail riding. The techniques in Kip's classes are applicable to all riding disciplines and horse activities.
