Melbourne & Yarra Valley Horse Training Stables
Mark Jones Training Stables provides professional and practical horse training and riding lessons in the breathtaking Yarra Valley. With a genuine passion for horses and decades of real-world experience, our horsemanship services cover horse training, starting, re-education, and riding lessons across a variety of English and Western disciplines.
Mark has trained many horses for the dressage, eventing, and show arenas, along with many western performance horses. But here's the deal, he's not just about saddles and bridles.
​
Mark's on a mission to teach you the real nitty-gritty, how to effectively communicate with your horse, and create a partnership that's rock-solid, safe, and fun. The first and most important part of working with a horse is understanding how they think. Once you understand this, training will be a lot easier for you and more importantly, for your horse.
​
Mark is no one trick pony, having worked with a diverse array of horse breeds and types, including Thoroughbreds, Warmbloods, Quarter Horses, Stock Horses, Arabians, Gypsy Cobs, Clydesdales, Friesians, Andalusians, and more. His extensive experience allows Mark to tailor his training methods to suit the unique needs and characteristics of each horse and owner.
If you want a real, down-to-earth horseman to show you the ropes and make horse ownership a safe and enjoyable experience, you've come to the right place.
Nestled in the stunning Yarra Valley, the stables are just over an hour away from Melbourne.
