Leslie grew up in Memphis and has been riding since she was little. She grew up riding at Hugh Frank Smiths where she spent most of her time riding, grooming her horses and learning the fundamentals of riding and horsemanship. As a junior, she competed with her horses Instant Replay and Concorde, and has ridden under the expertise of Jerome Robertson, Melanie Smith-Taylor, Margie Clark, Phoebe Sheets and Suzy Young. Since having a family of her own, Leslie has gotten back into the horse industry and has taught at many farms across the horse community, as well as bringing along her own small group of students. She LOVES to teach because she loves being around people who love horses as much as she does! Her goal is to influence her students to be self-confident, happy and responsible horse men and women.
