LESLEY NEUMAN
We are quite pleased to have Lesley Neuman join us again at Expo. Last year Lesley labored outside in the gentling pens, in heat and humidity, but this year we're bringing her inside, to work her magic with her favorite breed, the Wild Mustang!
JERRY TINDELL
We are also very happy to welcome Jerry Tindell back to Expo this year! Anyone who watched the incredible transformation that Jerry brought about in "Wimpy" the Rescue Mustang at last year's Expo, knows how very good he is!
Through JERRY TINDELL HORSEMANSHIP CLINICS, hundreds of horse and mule owners have improved their skills. Jerry has also developed a successful training curriculum for mounted law enforcement units.

HANK CURRY
Hank Curry is the man behind the success of the Warm Springs Correctional Facility's Wild Horse Training Program. Hank not only trains horses, he trains the men who work with the horses. Many of these are city boys who have never been near a horse before, let alone a wild one! Hank is amazing, and we are pleased to have him at Expo this year.

"Ordinary People, Extraordinary Results"
Wild Horse Mentors - a division of LRTC (Least Resistance Training Concepts) is a nation-wide group of volunteers who are dedicated to promoting successful adoptions of wild horses and burros, through teaching people how to gentle and interact with these wonderful creatures.
Mentor/Clinicians Chris Erlon, Willis Lamm, Cliff Tipton, Janet Tipton, & Donna Maye West, Betty Retzer and Marialaina Batoong, from as far away as Alabama, Texas and Utah will be out in the adoption pens all three days of Expo, teaching onlookers a wide variety of gentling techniques that ordinary people can learn, working in ordinary BLM-spec 20 ft. square pens. Link to LRTC/Wild Horse Mentors website: http://www.whmentors.org/whw/wswhbe04a.html
The lecture and video (approx. 45 minutes total) are really geared toward riding horses, but much of it applies to work on the ground, too. The video is an eye opener as it interviews people who have survived equine accidents and talks about some who didn't. After this class you may be more eager to don that helmet!
