About
Some of you might know me by name, Melina Minnillo, but most of you probably know me as @mpmsporthorses. While I might have collected a few followers on social media, in reality I am just a crazy horse mom who has been blessed to share my journey revolving around these magnificent animals throughout the equestrian world. Fast forward to today, I have been riding for twenty+ years, and I am now a proud owner of my own farm in Odessa, Florida where I keep and care for all of my beloved horses Social media has granted me the privilege of sharing my journey as an Adult Amateur equestrian navigating the horse world and being able to connect with like minded horse lovers.
At the end of 2016, I purchased my show partner many of you know and love, Caraszini (aka Zini). By the beginning of 2017, we had our show debut in the jumper ring. Zini and I climbed our way through the levels going from the .65m-.85m classes, all the way up to 1.25m Low Amateur Owners. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I’d make it to that level, but Zini gave me two of the most memorable years in my riding career. I was able to learn so much not only from him, but from a variety of great trainers along the way.
While I enjoy sharing snippets of my life on instagram, I want to use this site to share more insights into everything horse. Keep up to date with my blog for more!
My heart horses, Caraszini & Missy.
