The South Australian Show Jumping Community and Equestrian SA has lost one of its most charismatic and memorable members.

Horses were a big part of John’s life and riding was his passion. John commenced his show jumping career at the age of 10, and his love of horses continued onto a career in the SA Mounted Police.

John represented the SA Mounted Police Department at Royal Shows and the many Country Agricultural Shows, not only in the show jumping arena, John also rode in the Section 4’s, and tent pegging events in both SA and Interstate.  And if that wasn’t enough John also competed at the Gawler 3 Day Event.
