Ingo Wolters (Santa Ynez, Calif.)
My Name is Ingo Wolters, and I'm a farrier from Germany. I moved to California in 2009 to Santa Ynez. There is no one person I could pay tribute to, as there are so many good farriers out there. Everyday they go out with enthusiastic minds, shoeing, helpings horses and teaching. We work with trainers and horse owners, trying to better understand what each other does and building respect with one another. We working in good weather and bad weather, with good horses and bad horses. I meet a lot of good farriers, barefooters and horse people here, and each unique person is a pleasure to know and their own unique histories all deserve recognition.
