Although Julie Olli in 1974 was a 16-year-old Shelton
High School graduate, she knew no desire to follow in the
collegiate footsteps of her older siblings.
"Long ago I decided to be a horseshoer," she declares,
"partly as a profession, but mostly in order to care for my
own horses."
She began her study in a class sponsored by Olympia
Vocational Technical Institute and taught at Trails End
Stables near Olympia. She was one of two women in a class
of 13 persons.
For eight or more hours a day and for five days each
week, students learned forge work, the handling of tools, the
anatomy of the horse, disabilities and their causes and
symptoms.
"First we worked on dead feet," Julie Olli states. "These
were obtained from slaughterhouses and kept frozen until
needed. In this way we safely learned how to handle the foot,
how to trim and shape and fit a shoe, and how to nail it on."
According to Miss Olli, all types of horses were brought
to the school to be shod by the students.
"Some of them were really rank!" she exclaims. "People
who couldn't keep farriers brought their horses to us!"
Julie Olli, during her lessons, worked on saddle stock,
ponies and draft horses.
"With my first horse," she laughs, "it took eight hours
for me to remove one old shoe, trim the foot and nail on the
new handmade shoe. That two-and-a-half-pound hammer got
mighty heavy !"
One nasty accident marred the 1 5-week course for Ms.
Olli when her hand was ripped by a nail as she hammered a
shoe into place.
"It was my own fault," she admits, "and I learned a real
good lesson."
On November 12 of 1974 Julie Olli was graduated with a
diploma attesting to her efficiency as a farrier and
proclaiming her ability in pathological, corrective and special
types of shoeing.
She now resides in the Shelton Valley with her parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Don Olli, but she hopes some day to attend a
school in hunt-seat riding and to study horse training.
"Whatever I do," she vows, "I'11 always be around
horses."
A SHOE IS SHAPED by Julie Olli, woman farrier.
JULIE OLLI nails the finished shoe in place.
