Val Jones
Equine Insurance Account Manager
Originally from Ellsworth, OH, Val wandered into the horse world as a child and never looked back. With a foundation of riding Hunters, Dressage, and Grassroots Eventing she transitioned to the racing
industry through an apprenticeship and gained a wealth of rehabilitation knowledge. She graduated from Kent State University with a B.S. in Zoology (focusing on physiology) and did a stint in biomedical research. Deciding that bench work just wasn’t her thing she returned to the horse world as a riding instructor and ran her own layup program for retired race horses and sport horses. She also spent several years as an equine insurance adjuster.
Val is excited and honored to be a part of Sterling Thompson Company’s Equine department. She and her husband live on a farm in Lodi, OH with their three horses, three dogs, three “inside” cats, and four “barn” cats. Outside of riding she enjoys training for long-distance backpacking trips, camping, reading, cooking, and simply relaxing at her farm.
