Wes Leseberg is heading deep into the South African wilderness to teach anti-poaching patrollers at a hidden rhino sanctuary how to ride horses.
The expedition is a big shift from his usual duties as president of a historic battle re-enactment group in the southern New South Wales town of Gundagai.
His knowledge of horses and military tactics led to the 7th Light Horse Gundagai Troop being asked to train mounted rangers at the Care For Wild sanctuary.
