Nicki Malcolm and Nathan Sweeney of Stride Ahead Racing
Just five miles from Dorset’s Jurassic coastline and nestled in the fabulous chalk downland countryside, part of the historic Whitcombe Manor Estate, is Monymusk Racing Stables. Across the road and with full use of all the training facilities is Monymusk Stud, home to Stride Ahead Racing run by Nikki Malcolm and Nathan Sweeney. They started Stride Ahead in 2014 on the back of the wealth of experience the couple had gained in the racing and endurance industries and now have a well-developed business, breaking
and training racing Arabians and Endurance horses. The pair met when they were working at thoroughbred National Hunt trainer, Bob Buckler’s yard near Bridgewater in Somerset around 13 years ago. Malcolm had been involved with Arabians and thoroughbreds, whilst Sweeney had been an amateur rider on the Irish point-topoint scene before moving to the UK and taking out his conditional licence, riding over fences for Buckler and other trainers.
