Show jumping & livery · Home Counties
A show jumping and livery yard run by Nikki Ward — 30 years’ experience, UKCC Level 3, and a yard where the horses come first.
The stud
Pentonville Lodge is a private stud, home mainly to Nikki’s own mares. Most of her horses were bred here, and the stud is successful and growing every year.
Its stallion is Sky High, a silver badge elite show jumper by Goborius Ranaldo who was placed in Grands Prix in the UK and Dubai. His son, Sky High II, carries his bloodlines into the next generation.
Some lovely mares are joining the stud for next season, and with guidance from Robert Smith, Nikki takes the horses she has bred all the way to the top.
Welcome to the yard
Whether you’re bringing on a young horse, getting back into jumping after a break, or chasing a double clear at county level, Nikki can help you and your horse — here at the yard or at yours.
Services include conditioning programmes for horse and rider, bespoke clinics, pre-show help, and weekend and away competitions for riders at every level.
The horses enjoy all-year-round grazing, and the local bridle paths are well established and perfect for hacking. A small number of full, part-time and schooling livery places are available.
What we offer
30 years’ experience and UKCC Level 3 accreditation, for riders from novice to competition. Private and small-group sessions, clinics and away shows — at Pentonville Lodge or at your yard. £70 for 50 minutes.
