Marlene Beil
Lezlie Kennedy
Lezlie was born and raised right around the corner in Fowlerville NY, where she was involved in 4-H and Pony Club while growing up.
Lezlie attended college in Ithaca, studying Animal Science at Cornell University. She stayed in Ithaca after school and made a career working in small animal veterinary hospitals, until recently, when she moved back to the area to be closer to family. Lezlie started working at HEC in November of 2021 and is our primary receptionist, assisting clients with scheduling, financials and communication.
Marlene and her husband Roger bought their first farm in 1981 in Pavilion, where they were able to peacefully raise their family.
Over the years, their family has been involved with everything from riding horses to draft horses. She used to show a 4 horse hitch of Percheron mares, which evolved into a side-business with weddings on the weekends.
After retiring from her busy business career, Marlene decided to take her talents to Henderson Equine in 2018, handling the financial side of things.
