Leonard was born October 20, 1939 in Vulcan, Alberta, the first son of Bill and Hazel Marks of Armada, Alberta. In 1958 he married Ann Long of the Queenstown area and together they had three children. Leonard loved horses from early childhood, so it was no surprise he became a jockey, riding for his two uncles Jack and Stan Marks from 1954 – 1960. In 1965 he wanted to experience outriding, so he rode for Dennis Dorchester
