New Farrier Rig for Virgilio Neto!

Custom Farrier Rig for Virgilio Neto by Bay Horse Innovations of New York

Virgilio Neto attended Heartland Horseshoeing School in 2017. When he came back home to Santa Rosa, California he rode with a few mentors; Sam Durham CJF, Dustin Smart CF, Bill Murphy CJF, and Eric White, all veteran farriers in my area. Within my first year of being out of school, I started Healthy Hooves Solutions Inc. and I have been working as a professional farrier ever since.

Says Virgilio, “From my experience apprenticing with many farriers, I made the decision that I'd like to work out of a trailer as my professional setup. Then it really just came down to personal preferences... I looked at many manufacturers, however, after working with Dustin Smart, I just knew that I wanted a setup like his— next thing I know, I'm contacting Gene and I placed my order.

"I feel that going to Heartland Horseshoeing School and getting a custom trailer from Gene Velten were the two most important business decision that I could have made for me and my family”.

We’re pleased to announce that after losing his home in the 2017 Tubbs Fire, Virgilio is about 7 months away from being able to expand his farrier business. He’s been building his house Monday-Thursday and shoeing horses Friday through Sunday, but soon he’ll be back shoeing horses full time!
