• At the age of 3 years old Johnathon started riding ponies and it was then he realised his natural talent. He continued lessons until he was 6 years old when he bought his first pony and started competing. When Johnathon was 8 years old he was noticed by Pammy Hutton of Talland School of Equitation. It was here where he trained until he was 17 years old, when he left with his BHS AI Certificate. Now he teaches freelance and runs his own competition yard.

• Johnathon has trained with some very well known people including Pammy Hutton, Gerry Sinnott, Dick Stiwell and Roland Fernihough.
