Profile: Jonathan Hopkins

About This Author

Jonathan spent most of his working life in the Fitted Kitchen industry but now spends 'retirement' fitting and adjusting saddles as well as writing. A lifelong horse-keeper and long term chair of an Affiliated Riding Club close to his home in South Wales, his interest in the cavalrymen who served under the Duke of Wellington originally grew out of research into saddlery worn by troop horses, for which there are no surviving patterns.
