She started with us as a 13 and under rider,  stuck it out with a green horse through her 14-18 years, graduated from college, spent a year in Spain, and returned to the farm as an Amateur rider.   Her Mom, Cindy, was with her every step of the way.  If Cindy ever missed a horse show I certainly don't remember it. 

Leslie and Fifty are simply a match made in Heaven.  She has loved him from the first time he nuzzled her neck as a two year old, and it has been a love affair ever since. 

Along the way together they have earned Top 20 Buckles, #1 Zone Awards, All- Around prizes and awards too numerous to mention.  But more importantly, Leslie has become the daughter I wish I had, the woman I am proud to call my friend, and one heck of a rider !
