Richard Jones

Richard Jones (Team Jones Equestrian) started riding at the age of eight years old, competing in showjumping and eventing for the Pony Club both Burghley and the Cottesmore. After leaving school Richard went and trained with Dane Rawlins in East Sussex to get a better foundation in dressage, where he met his wife Victoria. Richard then moved back to Rutland to set up his eventing yard at the age of 20.

Exceptional athletes

Richard’s two current top rides, Alfies Clover and Kilballyboy Bob are both exceptional athletes by the thoroughbred sire Tajraasi, that he has produced carefully and successfully through the ranks. In 2018, Alfies Clover was placed 7th at both Bramham CCI3* and Burghley CCI4*, and 4th at Bramham in 2019, while Kilballyboy Bob was placed 4th in his CCI3* debut at Blenheim in 2018. Richard was selected onto the World Class Podium Potential Squad in 2019, and is very much looking forward to the forthcoming seasons with these horses whom he both believes are capable of winning at what is now five star level.
