Nikki's Yard and 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

Chubby and Me

| Nikki's News | 10.06.2019 |I introduced you to Chubby a couple of weeks ago. He came to me via a strange route – which is possibly how many love stories begin...I had always considered myself a rider for a purpose. Every pony or horse I had ever ridden in the past...

“People involved in racing are a strange breed…”

| Nikki's News | 17.05.2019 | It is normal to want the best for your loved ones and it seems to be all consuming at present. I spend most of my time worrying for, hoping for, willing them on and watching with half-closed eyes, pacing around in a state of extreme...

Point-to-Point 2020

We do not have any pointers, this season. This is sad, as we have had pointers every year for the last 34 years. It will seem very strange, having no pointers here. It wasn’t a conscious decision, but it has just happened that our homebreds are going straight into National Hunt. We don’t have a young jockey here that is starting a career in racing, who needs a few rides and we don’t have an owner who races!

No doubt we will be able to go to some of the local meetings and we will definitely be hosting the annual Point-to-point picnic for club members. Probably, Buckfastleigh or Flete.
