John Long
 |
John Long, a former jockey turned trainer, employs traditional methods at his stables in Woldingham, Surrey. In a career spanning over 30 years he has enjoyed great success, primarily on the flat but also over the jumps with National Hunt racing. Amaroni Bloodstock has entrusted the care and training of our horses to John Long because although John may not be considered a top flight trainer, with the best horses, he is a true horseman. He lives and breathes horses. Horses aren't pushed and made to work when they are not ready. They tell John when they are ready and because of the relationship he is able to build with them, they are willing and try for him. His attention to every detail where the welfare of a horse is concerned is second to none and this fact is very important to us. We have had to wait for our first winner, a winner by 17 lengths, followed by two more wins in our next two outings ....we are glad we waited!
2007 proved to be a good year for John and his team with his horses firing on all cylinders and winning 10 races from only 30 starts. A percentage win ratio of 30%
John is ably assisted by his Assistant Trainer Stephanie Cassidy and the rest of his capable team..

The main yard consists of 24 purpose brick built stables. We have access to a mile and a half undulating grass gallop as well as a 7 furlong all weather gallop. In addition we have a fixed jumping gallop for the National Hunt horses. The yard has been inspected by The Jockey Club and licensed as a suitable training establishment. In addition we have acquired a new 4 horse, horse box and a Claydon horse walker.
