The house that Mr. Leslie Tassell built ca. 1997.  The estate occupied 95 acres with 15 acres surrounding the home are park like, with a pond, swans, rose garden and formal lawns.  It's breathtaking, entering the gated driveway at first you see nothing but trees and lawn, then the drive curves around a hill and you finally see the magnificent house, pond and grounds.

Its been said that zebras cannot be tamed. Well these were tame enough to pull a carriage, Of course there is a story to this.

Mr. Tassell feeding the baby zebra. These zebras were raised on his estate in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The caretaker/trainer told me a little story, it seems people in the neighborhood discovered the approximate time when the zebras would be fed, or let in/out of their pen. Thus, at these times cars filled with people would line the fence to watch the spectacle unfold.

Here is an excellent Eland trophy that Mr. Tassell bagged in Africa.
