"I contacted Cliff about working with my six year old adopted Mustang mare after I could not gain her confidence. Cliff and I sat down and went over a training program designed to train my horse to the point of being able to ride her. We discussed some goals and agreed to review the progress monthly. Cliff did a beautiful job with my mare. Each time I visited his training facility it was evident that progress was being made. In the third and final month of training, Cliff had me work with my horse in all the aspects of training he had worked with her on. I am very pleased with the results. I can pick up her feet, brush, halter, lead, bridle, saddle, and ride her. Cliff also provided me with some ideas to continue her training. Cliff gets results and I highly recommend him as a trainer."

Dear Cliff,

I want to personally thank you for the excellent care and training that you have provided for my horses, Bliss and Sienna. When I adopted Bliss as a flighty, scared colt, you taught me natural methods to gentle him. I moved him to another location, closer to home, and made the tragic mistake of having another trainer work with him. At some point, he began rearing and charging me. Bliss had been in training for 45 days and was injured two times; one time I observed him being whipped while he was tied to a fence. After this disgusting experience, I moved him back to your facility. You suggested that we just let him be a horse for a few months. After a few months, he settled down and started to enjoy the company of humans.

In January 2008, you began training Bliss using a gentle method of natural horsemanship. Cliff, you have an excellent knowledge of horses and understand them and they understand what you ask them to do. You have patience and are constantly seeking to gain knowledge to enhance your skills.

Today, I have a four-year-old colt that I can ride and is so gentle that a small child can approach, pet and ride.

Sienna, my 18-year-old mare, has also benefited from your training, mentoring and advice. She has a few bad habits that we are working on and I appreciate your help and guidance with her.

Bliss and Sienna are the great loves of my live and I trust you and Janet with their health and welfare… you provide excellent care for them both. I would heartily recommend you as a competent, trustworthy horse trainer and boarding facility.

If a prospective client would like to speak with me, I would be happy to take their
phone call.

Sincerely,

"On December 17, 2007, I adopted a Mustang from the BLM Facility in Herriman, Utah. For months I boarded her at a farm in Lehi, Utah. This is my first horse and I was basically unsure of what I should do and how I should train her.

Reading and watching self-help videos were of little help and I found myself feeling very lost and in desperate need of help with my horse! I got on the internet and looked up "Help with Wild Mustang in Utah". That is where I saw Cliff Tipton's name and a brief description of what he does.

Shortly there after I began boarding my horse at the Tipton's ranch. The moment we unloaded my horse from the trailer and put her in her stall, I knew I had made the best decision!

My horse has been at Flying T Acres since March of 2008 and although I could board her closer to my home, I wouldn't even dream of it. Now I see that my horse is happy and feels safe, and that is the most important thing for me.

I take lessons from Cliff on gentling her, and that does best describe how Cliff works with every horse he comes in contact with. I have never heard him raise his voice or do anything inhumane to the horses. It seems to me that he works with the ethics of trust, respect, and communication. I see that in every horse that he works with, as they are so willing to do whatever he asks of them.

Since taking lessons with Cliff I am much more confident in what I do with my horse. Cliff has taught me how to keep her attention and earn her trust in what I ask of her. We have concentrated on ground work, preparing her for saddle and riding. We have worked on such areas as her space and my space, bending, ground driving, sending her into areas such as trailer loading, in the stall and in the round pen. Cliff also provides Bomb Proofing and Obstacle Course training.

At the Tipton's Ranch, all of the horses are closely watched and cared for. All of the horses always have ample food, water, and personal attention. All of the stalls are clean and in good repair. If there is a specific need or concern with a horse, Cliff will promptly notify the owner.

I wouldn't dream of boarding or training my horse with anyone else!"

Cliff is an awesome horse trainer, he mostly works with wild mustangs. He has done an awesome job with our 8 year old mustang. We were told by other trainers that she could not be broke or trained, but within a weeks time he had a halter on her and trimmed her feet, and within a month he had a saddle on her and leading her around.

We are so impressed with his training. He had it where we could walk up to her and give her lovings, even our 10 year old daughter could also walk up to her.

And now he has our 5 year old mustang for training along with the 8 year old.

We highly recommend Cliff Tipton as an excellent mustang trainer or domestic horses that have issues and need work.

Myself and my wife would like to say, Cliff Tipton is an awesome trainer and person and so is his wife Janet.
