REVIEWS
"I bought my OTTB from Shelby almost 2 years ago. It was a great interaction. She messaged me back almost immediately and we set up a time to come see him the next day. She was honest and advertised him for exactly his experience level. She was very helpful and answered all of my questions. She checks in on us from time to time to see how we’re doing. Overall it was a great experience."

"Shelby is amazing! She has a real way with horses. We got our boy Remington from her 3 years ago and he is amazing. He still remembers stuff she taught him like join up and free lunging which makes it so much easier for my mom and I to work with him and keep developing his potential. I like that Shelby doesn’t just see them as a sport or a horse to flip but truly sees them as a partner and being and treats them with respect and kindness. It was truly a great experience and in consequence we added a new member to our family and are so grateful that Shelby gave our Remington a second chance at life."

"I rode both Malakai and Reggi, Shelby's OTTBs, and never had more fun riding a thoroughbred. Both horses were extremely responsive to the leg and loved to work but had a great whoa unlike many I have been on that want to just keep running! They were well accustomed to the mounting block and were patient to mount. Shelby was easy to work with and left tack easily accessible and fitted to the horses. I would definitely work with her again!"
