As the youngest of four “semi-feral” girls growing up in the 1970s, Ina’s connection with animals began early. At just nine months old, she had her first fall off a pony—and was hooked from that moment on. Donkeys, horses, and many other animals shaped her childhood and became her lifelong companions.
After a 20-year career in international humanitarian aid, Ina returned to her passion for horses, focusing on their physical and mental well-being. The three horses she now shares her life with inspired her to explore holistic approaches that could support their health and happiness, while reflecting her deep commitment to ethical and compassionate care. The Masterson Method® resonated deeply with Ina’s wish to enhance the health, freedom of movement, and performance of horses. Her training also sparked a desire to share these skills beyond her own herd.
Throughout her education, Ina has worked with a wide variety of horses—both ridden and unridden—learning from their individual needs and from the owners who care for them. She is now available to work with horses in Northern Germany and Southern Denmark.
