She has made it her goal for the year to hold her title as elegantly and professionally as possible. Shelby would like to thank her friends and family for their unending support. She encourages all to chase their dreams and to remember, nothing is impossible. The word itself says “I’m Possible.”
In her free time, she spends time helping local rancher, traveling, and riding her horses. This is her very first title as a rodeo queen and she said she had lots of fun meeting new people, traveling to all of the events, and learning the ropes of being a rodeo queen.
