Leslie Kramer, owner of Equest Farm in New Orleans City Park

Leslie Kramer is the owner of Equest Farm in New Orleans City Park. Since Hurricane Katrina, many people are taking riding lessons because, as they tell Leslie, "Life is too short and I've always wanted to ride; now, finally, I am going to do it." Leslie observes that we have helped each other move forward together and have been each others' strength. Now, more than ever, we know our neighbors, and our sense of community in New Orleans is much stronger than ever before.
