I always enjoy my visits to Martin Jones.. Martin and his daughter Sammy and head girl Megan really do a great job with the horses we send.. they are always well-presented and well mannered..

The horses currently with Martin are..Undercover Lover, Flirtatious Girl, English Willow, Driving Miss D'Azy and the 2 year old by No Risk At All that was bought at Arqana sales 5 weeks ago.. He is is now broken and ridden away and ready to go out to grass..
