Ethical Miniature Schnauzer and Friesian Horse Breeders in Queensland
We are Merindah Farm, a family farm at Yangan on the Queensland Southern Downs, just under two hours from Brisbane, where we breed Miniature Schnauzers and Friesian and Friesian Warmblood horses. We bought the farm in 2015, our first litter of puppies was born in 2018 and we started breeding Friesian Warmbloods in 2022, and both sides of the farm are run the same way, health and temperament first, then type.
Our puppies and our horses are raised in our home and on our paddocks, handled every day and taught to be calm and easy to live with, well before they go anywhere, and our support for you carries on for the whole of your animal's life.
If you have come here for a puppy, everything about our Miniature Schnauzer puppies is on the dog side of the site, and if you have come here for a horse, our Friesian horses for sale page has every horse we have available. You can read about the two of us and how the farm started on our About Merindah Farm page.
We do the hard work so you don't have to.
We call them Coffee Shop Ready!
We can supply trained young Miniature Schnauzer dogs. They are perfect for the person who wants a Mini Schnauzer in their life but doesn't want to start at the puppy stage.

Friesian and Friesian Warmblood Horses
We breed Friesian and Friesian Warmblood horses under the prefix van Merindah, and we are members of the Australian Friesian Horse Society, the Australian Friesian Warmblood Horse Society, the Arabian Society of Australia and the KFPS in the Netherlands. Our horses are paddock raised in a herd, they have a solid foundation of groundwork, and they are taught to load and travel on a float long before they go anywhere, so they arrive at their new home settled.
Every horse we have available, with prices and full breeding, is on our Friesian horses for sale page, and you can meet our broodmares and stallions on our Friesian mares and stud page.
