For almost 30 years and before moving to Mississippi, Jack ran a full-time horse show operation with Linda Andrisani from their home base in Maryland. Jack developed an outstanding reputation as a rider, trainer and coach. Horses and students from his barn were champion at every major horse show in the country, including Devon, Harrisburg and The Washington International, and won numerous national championships. Many of Jack's former students have continued in the horse business, and they are some of the best young professionals in North America.
As one of the most well-known and well respected horsemen around, Jack's peers voted to induct him into the Virginia Horseman's Assocation Hall of Fame in 2009.
All of us at PHF are thrilled to have his experience and passion for horses as part of our team.
