Johnny was bred by Kim Lander and named Poppyfield Shadowfax. The following is from Janelle’s website:

“Muffy Seaton purchased Johnny as a late three-year-old, ostensibly because he ate grape ice pops. He had been ridden, leading trail rides with kids. I instantly clicked with him; I remember picking his name out on the way down before I had even seen him. Boy, I got the name right, as he was a leggy, clumsy boy. Johnny took to driving exceptionally well. After only 4 years I have taken him from his first training level all the way to advanced. It has been a great journey. Named after Johnny Depp, he is a great pony to work with as he really likes his job. Even though he is happy go lucky, I have complete trust in him. He loves getting massages and personal attention, including baths. Which is good as being grey he gets a lot of them and he doesn’t like to stay clean! Johnny is a character and a joy for me to work with.”
