About Lakewood Mounted Estate
Our beginnings
The VONFIDEL name began with the canine practice in Sri Lanka in 2009. It drew on fidelity: the trust built between dog and handler through clear communication and consistent work.
Equestrian travel and strategic advisory followed. The businesses now serve different clients, while the K9 archive preserves the work from which the name grew.
