Originally from Canada, Nicole is very pleased to call Kentucky home. She started her career in the horse business by first competing in endurance and competitive riding. Later, she studied equine science and horse breaking and training at Abingdon & Witney College in England. In the late 1990s, she dreamed of doing something important so she developed December Farm, a distinctively different boarding operation.
