On episode 124 of Mares in Black, we sit down with hobby icon Lesli Kathman and discuss her wide-ranging hobby journey. Lesli is an accomplished show holder, sculptor, customizer, painter, glazer, mold-maker and a recognized expert and author in the field of equine color genetics. We talk through her career in model horses and how it informed her deep dive in to the science of color. Lesli also gives us the rundown on a new artist holiday marketplace event, founded along side Sarah Minkiewicz-Breunig, called Christmas on Mane Street!
