Although he specializes in teaching horses what to do in shows, circuses and motion picture work, he also trains wild horses for ranches, for stock shows, parades and rodeo performances. Randall believes also that much of his success is due to the fact that he gets the confidence of the horse before he starts basic training. For 15 ears, Randall has trained many horses that have become trademarks for famous cowboy actors, such as Trigger and Trigger, Jr., for Roy Rogers, Hi-Yo Silver for the Lone Ranger and Koko for Rex Allen. He also coached Midnight for Casey Tibby, four-time world champion cowboy. These famed horses are boarded at the Randall ranch where he schools them constantly in their tricks. Here is how Randall puts his horses through their paces. Randall's son, Corky, puts Elmer, a Palomino, through bucking stunt.
