Leslie has been involved with horses for over 25 years with experience in a wide variety of disciplines. She rode jumpers and dressage through her teenage years into her twenties living in the heart of "english seat" country in Massachusetts. Along the way she has worked at several top hunter and jumper barns as well as being the caretaker for the Irish Mist Polo Team's ponies for two years. A move to New Hampshire in 1993 introduced her to the world of Belgian Draft Pulling horses in which she successfully helped campaign several teams to many wins over the next 9 years. In 1998 she started entering gymkhanas and in 2000 she decided to focus exclusively on barrels, realizing that she had found her calling. She saw an ad on the internet for a horse in KY with a "big motor" and decided she would check him out while she was there dropping off some Belgians. Well the horse was "Bo" and he was a bargain basement deal that she just knew was the kind of horse who could win the world. She brought him home, worked him over the winter and the rest is history. She won her first NBHA run she ever went to the first time she ran him and knew that training barrel horses was what she wanted to do. Knowing the enormous demands we put on our equine athletes' bodies, she became a certified Equine Sports Massage Therapist to maximize her own horses' performance as well as the performance of others.

Bob got involved in horses in the early nineties, competing in gymkhanas in New England. Within a couple of years he had made the switch to running barrels exclusively. His late, great barrel mare Westport Sue was a freaked out, crazy gymkhana horse that he re-trained into a top-notch barrel horse. She had many 1D wins throughout her career as well as being voted "Horse with the most heart" at one point. Bob is also our resident trimmer/farrier. He has spent the past couple years building the barn, clearing land, building fence, building our grain bins/cabinets, building our wash bays--putting in water pipe... the list goes on and on! Therefore he hasn't had time to ride or compete for the past few years but we've got a 4 old of his in the works and he has recently started his 2 year old so he will eventually be competing again.
