New Northwest Horizons for John French and Waldenbrook Farm

A magician on horseback, John French has piloted horses to success from coast to coast. His name is synonymous with finesse, style and poise in the hunter and jumper circles. Decorated with a number of titles and awards, French’s calm and cool composure has earned him numerous accolades aboard a variety of mounts. Making a decision to slightly pull up on the reins, French will continue to ride his way to new horizons, trading the wineries and olive groves of Paso Robles, CA for the towering Spruce trees and vast mountains of Snohomish, WA. 

Continuing to write page upon page in his voluminous series, French has decided to close the chapter on his location and home in Paso Robles, CA to settle anew near Seattle, in Snohomish, WA at the Crooks Show Jumping facility. “Seattle and the surrounding areas offer a booming metropolis and a variety of quality shows, including Thunderbird to the north and Oregon as well as California to the south. After spending several decades in California, the beauty of the Northwest will be a new and exciting adventure.”
