Jonnie Brooks

Jonnie was born and raised in Washington State. She began competitively riding at 10 years old, after spending her early childhood riding and falling in love with horses at her family’s cattle ranch. While competing through the levels on her own horses, as a hunter and then focusing on jumpers, Jonnie was also a working student where she gained valuable knowledge catch riding anything and everything. After graduating from University of Washington in 2006 she gave up her amateur status for her lifelong dream of teaching and riding as a professional. She spent 10 years learning and working for other professionals before branching out on her own and starting Brookside Equestrian. (Source)
