Hi! I'm Melinda and I run Pooch and Pony. 

I started the business just by chance when I had a few friends ask me if I could feed their animals while they went away. I realized there was a need for this in the area and thus started Pooch and Pony.

I own, breed, and show miniature Horses at local, state, and national levels but my favorite side of owning them is breeding. You never know what you are going to get so it's like Christmas has come every breeding season.

I've also trained and driven standardbred horses in races for a few years when I was younger and in my short time driving, I was lucky enough to have a winner at Bulli on a horse called Tommy Brown.

I've also worked in pre-training for the biggest racing stable in Australia as well as an Olympic showjumper and dressage rider as well as a short time on an Arabian stud.

I have a diploma in both animal nursing and equine nursing.

​

I've been pet sitting since April 2017, so rest assured, your animals are in the best hands possible.
