About Me
From my Website:
Jonathan was born and raised in Orange County California. He started riding at a very young age through the influence of his mother, who has always been involved in horses. As a junior, he worked for various trainers in the area as a working student. Doing anything he could to learn and ride as much as possible, he worked very hard doing various jobs including braiding, grooming, bodyshaving and even being ring crew at many horse shows in the Orange County and San Diego areas. When Jonathan turned 18, he became the youngest person to become approved to design courses by the Orange County Horse Show Association. With job offers from many professionals in the area, Jonathan decided to make the move that same year to become a professional. Since doing so, Jonathan has had the opportunity to ride and work for some very respectable names in the business. With every new job and being beside some of the best, Jonathan was able to ride some of the best horses while learning some wonderful techniques. In 2000, under the eye of Dale Pederson whom he met many years before, a satellite sales business was created at Coto de Caza Equestrian Center, where he ran a very successful operation. In 2002, Jonathan began judging horse shows mainly in the Southern California region, and continues to do so. In 2004, Jonathan was named Varsity IEL Trainer of the year. Specializing in hunters, jumpers, and equitation, he has built a reputation on taking exceptional care of the horses, building confidence in his students, and striving to be the very best by always learning and improving himself. In 2008, Jonathan made the move to Los Angeles to expand upon his territory, while completing his bachelors and masters degrees in Business Marketing. Jonathan believes in keeping a positive attitude and having a love and appreciation for the horses. Jonathan tributes his methods and riding to the many professionals he has had the fortune to come in contact with. These people saw something in him and gave him the opportunities to turn into a well rounded professional. Jonathan understands that in this sport your education never ends, and expresses that to his students. He is thankful to have such great people that continue to help and educate him to this day.
