• Graham and Judy Bowen.....(Brogden Lodge)

  We choose White Star Stables as our trainers because we knew our horses would be very well looked after with individual attention. They have been turned out to race in peak fitness and in great condition. We have been very satisfied with the way in which out horses are cared for and have appreciated the honest assessment that we have received of our horses racing ability and potential.

• Mac and Joy Robinson...Matamata (Tomado Syndicate)

Nicky has been our preferred Standardbred trainer for the last 9 years. We find Nicky to be a good communicator. She always gives her honest assessments of our horses. She is a "hands on" Trainer giving each horse individual attention. White Star Stables has a friendly relaxed atmosphere making us feel very welcome.

 

• Reg and Barbara Caldow...(Owners of Starcus and Whizz Mann)

"When deciding to send my class 2 trotting mare to the North Island last year for racing the Auckland direction,
We chose Nicky for  very clear reasons:
1) We knew Nicky was in the top level of results with straight out trotters
2) We knew Nicky had studied Physiology/Physed at Otago University and had a sound knowledge of the horse.
3) Nicky came highly recommended from other owners.

Starcus won three races and performed consistently for Nicky and was very close in 3 Premier night races, before retiring to stud.
Recently ,Whizzman has struck form immediately when joining her barn, recording two 2nds and a 1st.

Most importantly  her follow up and reporting after a race, the time Nicky takes to discuss the horses progress and racing programme,
and her genuine wish to include us, gives a great deal of comfort and enjoyment.
Nicky is well worth a call.
