Bob Walters hammers a shoe on an anvil that is attached to the back of his Ford pickup. Walters employed a successful business philosophy. “He’d say, ‘You’re wastin’ your time standin’ around waitin’ to get paid when you can be shoein’ another horse,’” says his wife Darlene Walters. His shoeing rig played a key role in that philosophy. Because the anvil was mounted to the bumper of Walters’ truck, it kept set up and clean up to a minimum.
