Nikki's News - THE FROST RACING CLUB

Hello, everyone! welcome to nikki’s yard!

We are a family run yard situated on the edge of Dartmoor National Park, near Buckfastleigh, South Devon.

Our philosophy to training is simple: get them fit and well schooled and educate the young horses well so they can reach their full potential, pay attention to detail with each horse’s care and training, be flexible and realistic!

We will follow horses progress, tell you of new arrivals, hopefully, have some funny stories!

Best Wishes,
Nikki
