Reviews

Built from a field with no fencing

“A long standing friend, and credit where it’s due. In 2001, when Pentonville Lodge Stud opened for business, there were no liveries, one horse and a field with no fencing.

I have been a livery since then and have witnessed Nikki build, manage and run the business from the ground up.

The end result is a successful business with long term clients that have good things to say about Pentonville Lodge.”

Tracey SloemanLivery at Pentonville Lodge since 2001

“I have been a full livery and show jumping client for over seven years and the level of service has been consistent and professional throughout. One thing I find very comforting as a client is that the horses take priority over everything.”
