Randy is a 4th generation Arizonan and grew up on a small ranch and farm where they raised hereford cattle, thouroughbred race horses and cotton.

Horses have always been the "constant" throughout his life. From military service, a police officer and serving as a pastor for over 30 years, he has come full circle to combine the passion for horses and the passion to see lives changed through clinics and cowboy churhes.

Starting with Thouroughbreds he later trained Arabs, Quarter Horses and eventually wild mustangs.
The old cowboy method of breaking horses was the only way horses were trained on the ranch. Today, Randy describes the difference this way: “The method I learned on the ranch was all corrective. We didn’t want a horse to pull back, so we snubbed the horse up and made it pull pack, so we could correct it and say NO. We didn’t want the horse to buck, so we bucked them out so we could correct it and say NO. Almost everything was correcting something we didn’t want the horse to do. The way I train today is all progressive. We build on the successes and find ways to say YES.”

Helm Horsemanship is focused on horse training in clinics, demonstrations and expos. The clinics are usually 2 to 3-day events with horses and riders.

Whether clinics or expos, we focus on becoming a safe, confident rider with a responsive, safe horse.

Randy has conducted clinics and expos for numerous organizations such as Arizona State Prison, US Border Patrol, Law Enforcement and of course the general public.
