Lesley Neuman

 

The two wild one's that will be worked with

Lesley is best know for her work with wild horses. She has been a popular clinician at BLM wild horse adoptions. She has a rare ability to read, communicate with, and gentle wild or unhandled horses. While working with the wild horse Lesley is explaining to her human audience what she is doing and what the horse is doing.

 
Her calling with mustangs came about while watching a mustang being gentled at a BLM adoption. Since the late 1990s Lesley has travel around the United States doing wild horse gentling demonstrations for BLM at their satellite adoptions. She once traveled with a troupe of trainers to Australia to work with the wild brumbies.

 
Lesley has had horses since she was 4 years old, getting her pony Poncho for Christmas. Since then she has never been without a horse. Lesley's education about horses came by watching and doing.In high school she showed her horses in trail, western pleasure, english pleasure and jumping. Once an adult, Lesley moved on to endurance riding, back country trail riding and working a bit on ranches with cows.

 
She got her first mustang in 1982 when she traded an Arabian mare for a mustang mare. Since then she has had nothing but mustangs as her "horse of choice." To Lesley, mustangs are "REAL" horses: ones nature made, not bred by man for color or certain "pretty" characteristics.

 
Lesley was born and raised in California, moving to North East Oregon in June 2007. She retired from her career in graphic arts, sold her "ranchette" and found a place in the middle of nowhere, where her 2 mules and 4 horses have all the space and grass they could ever want.

 
Quote from a letter received from a woman who saw Lesley at a BLM adoption:

 
"Most importantly Lesley, thank you profoundly for the work you do to show and teach us how to be with horses — in a lot of ways, it's how to be, period. I so much admire, respect and appreciate your quiet, perceptive and practical way of working with horses. It's generous and open — both to the animals and to those like me, who are fortunate to be there watching.
- Mary S., California
