Since 1973, it’s been a family affair at The Shoein’ Shop in Yucaipa. The venerable farrier supply business was started by Lee Green in 1973. Lee and Charlotte, their children, and grandchildren all have a part in making the shop run the way it does — and they LOVE their family business!
Lee started shoeing with his father from a very early age, and as an 11-year-old was able to shoe a horse by himself in 1953. He was shoeing professionally in Nephi, Utah, while still in high school before he left in 1964 to shoe mules down in the Grand Canyon. Occasionally, he would work a pack trip, and around the same period he also was shoeing and packing at Reds Meadow in Mammoth Lakes for a couple summers.
Lee and Charlotte moved to Yucaipa in 1969, and after a few years, he decided to buy a property. He built a barn so people could bring their horses to him, hence the name The Shoein’ Shop! While he was shoeing, Charlotte was running the shop. Eventually, his daughters started to manage the store.
From 1980-2013, Lee travelled all over Africa, Asia, Europe, South America, and the U.S., conducting clinics and sharing his knowledge. His son, Portor, who is also a farrier, is going to follow in Lee’s footsteps and do the same.
Lee quit shoeing in 2004 to focus on the business, and today the shop has more than 20,000 square feet of business space holding thousands of products, supplying many other shops in the U.S. The whole family works together to make this place great, and it’s quick to say that they could not do this without their customers, to whom they are very grateful.
