Kenny Knolwton (Ocala, Fla.)

I met him in 1992 at an important equestrian club in Rio de Janeiro. At the time, I was a student of Veterinary Medicine. When I saw him working and how the horses stayed, I naturally compared the work of the local farmers. This difference lead me to ask huge questions and that was when I started to accompany him and also started my specific studies in Equine Podology. Certainly because of all the teachings, examples and conversations during the days of work and the long journeys, they guided me to where I am professionally having been the Ferrador responsible for the whole sector of the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games. My tribute is to this great professional and friend that I have the pleasure of having until today.
