Linda Balot, DVM

Born and raised in New Jersey, Linda Balot headed south to Clemson University for her Animal Science pre-vet degree and has never left. After spending three years at Clemson, she was accepted into the veterinary program at North Carolina State University and graduated in 1996. Her first year of practice was spent just outside Charlotte, NC at a large animal practice. She then came to Greenville and started Greenville Mobile Equine in 1997. The rest, shall we say, is history.

Personally, Linda has been around horses since attending riding camp at the age of 13. By 16 she was the head camp counselor. During her days a Clemson, she lived on a horse farm and was responsible for the care of 25 plus horses, besides being able to ride whenever she wanted. While showing is not her “main thing”, she competed successfully at intercollegiate horse shows for Clemson, and locally at combined events and hunter shows. These days Linda lives in Simpson with her 3 cats and husband, Bob. While working and running the practice has taken up much of her time in the past years, she still finds time to play volleyball and golf. Today, you can also find her teaching wine classes for the Wine Education & Enjoyment Club twice a month (WEE Club) as well as traveling multiple times a year. (Source)
