Lee Olsen, CJF
I grew up on a cattle ranch in western South Dakota, where I learned to understand the meaning of dedication and hard work. My love of horses transformed to rodeoing and training horses.
After obtaining my certification as an industrial electrician in 2007, I continued rodeoing and training horses. Qualifying for the PRCA Badlands Circuit Finals twice in the team roping, winning Badlands Rookie of the Year in 2005. Since then, I have been mainly focusing on the farrier industry.
In 2008, I married the love of my life, Jamie Olsen. Together we moved to Texas in 2010. We had our first son, Trace, in 2012, and our second son Eli was born in 2020. We love being able to ranch and rodeo together as a family. Jamie is a Nurse Practitioner and rodeos professionally. She is currently chasing the barrel racing rookie of the year in the PRCA.
Jamie and I enjoy team roping together, and we attend some of the biggest ropings across Texas and the US.
As we put down roots in Texas, my farrier business began to grow. I earned my AFA Certified Journeyman Farrier Certification and formed Olsen Equine. Olsen Equine is a multi-farrier practice and offers a four-year apprenticeship, complete with a state-of-the-art climate-controlled farrier shop. My business has become an industry leader for equine education, offering online resources and educational clinics across the country for both farriers and horse owners.
My passions show through in all aspects of my work and life, from being a farrier, a horseman, a husband and father, to helping people be successful in all areas of their life.

My Personal Opinions on Hoof Care
I believe that shoeing is something that should be kept as simple as possible. Shoeing should compliment the foot and be a continuation of it. There are some life-changing developments in the industry today that allow us to save horses that we normally wouldn’t have been able to. As with anything, there are gimmicks and fads out there also. I believe that being open to better ways of doing things and accepting help from others is a great way to do anything in life. With all the different styles of shoeing and trimming, I think that an open-minded approach will take you a long ways. God Bless America.
