Welcome to Rowley Racing Partners.
Mel and Phil have been training racehorses in Shropshire since 2000. They run a welcoming, small yard, specialising in National Hunt and Point-to-Point horses. In 2024, the yard enjoyed the success of the brilliant Val Dancer winning the Welsh Grand National. A very proud moment!
Mel and Phil are dedicated to training horses that are both successful and happy. They have a brilliant team behind them as well as great owners and associates. The yard is kindly sponsored by AP Precision Groundworks Ltd whom they work very closely with to keep the yard in tip top condition.
