Five things you didn’t know…
1 JP was originally bought by Christian Landolt as an eventer, but wasn’t bold enough across country.
2 He loves his food and is always thinking of his tummy. He even eats bananas whole as he’s too impatient for Natasha to peel them.
3 He hates his ears being touched, especially if he needs fly spray applying.
4 His secret weapon is his Cyclo-ssage rug — Natasha always puts it on before she rides him.
5 In the stable he is named after Pope John Paul II, as he is from Poland as well.
