Jon was with Live Oak in 2012 when they brought show jumping to the event.

“Jon helped us in the beginning when we introduced show jumping, and now, as we’ve grown, we’re delighted to have him back on board as our Director of Sport.  We have a strong team and look forward to adding his experience to it, “ says co-president, sixteen time USEF Four-In-Hand Champion, Chester Weber.
