Staff Profile
We have skilled and experienced staff who work at Gwenda Johnstone Racing, each an important member of our team. We would like to introduce them to you.
Gwenda Johnstone, Racehorse Trainer
Gwenda works closely with Mick and her team ensuring the care, training and planning of each of her charges. Her focus and dedication to her craft is an admirable quality that is reflective to those who work with her.
Michael Johnstone, Partner & Jockey
Michael Johnstone is not only Gwenda's partner in love but in work as well. Mick has been with Gwenda since the beginning and rides for the stable. He is an extremely capable rider at track-work and race meetings.
Mick commenced his career in racing working as an apprentice jockey to Kel Chapman at Caulfield. He was sent on loan to work with trainer Joe Harrington in Echuca at 18 years of age, where he met Gwenda. After the passing of Joe Harrington, Gwenda and Mick worked together in building her training business in 1989 and have not looked back since.
Mick still enjoys his work as jockey and takes on a range of responsibilities around the stable and handles all public relations.
Cindy Kenna, Track Rider & Stable Hand
Cindy has been with the stable since 2004 and is an integral part of the team.
Kristy Bissle, Stable Hand
Kristy joined us at Gwenda Johnstone Racing mid 2009. We enjoy having Kristy working with us.
