Jared Lee, a third-generation cowboy, has just started a new business for himself breaking and training horses. Lee’s entire family has raised and worked cattle for three generations.



Lee has been riding and working cows since he was old enough to sit up on a horse.



Steven Lee, Jared’s grandfather, was one of the top foremen on an enormous cattle ranch in Kissimmee. The ranch was Bronson’s Incorporated. The ranch owned and managed untold acreage spread all over Orange, Osceola and Brevard counties. According to Jared they ran 60,000 to 70,000 head of cattle over all those acres.



Jared’s daddy, Jesse Lee, moved to Suwannee County when Steven died in the 70s. Jesse Lee rodeoed when he was young, riding bulls and broncs all over Florida and Georgia. He was also a bullfighter. “I heard he was the best bullfighter in Florida,” Jared said of his dad.



The Lees, Jesse, Jared and his brother Cajun, run cattle in Suwannee County on about 1,400 acres. They own 200 and lease the rest. The only kind of work Jared has ever done is ride and work cattle. Horse-training just fits in with all of what he knows and does.



Jared has a first-class cutting horse named Scolder’s Playboy he’s training with the help of one of the top cutting horse trainers around. Jared is available to break and train horses in Suwannee County. He can give them a good start, put a right and left lead on a horse and get them going in the right direction. Jared can also take a sour horse or one that has bad habits and correct those habits. If you’ve got a horse that needs to be started or trained, call Jared at 386-984-5543.
