Our Story

Shelbi has competed nationally alongside some of the most accomplished riders in the history of the sport. Shelbi is in pursuit of her 'r' judges card under the guidance of 'R' Judge Carol Molony in both Hunter and Hunter/Jumping Seat Equitation. She attended Pace University and obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Business Management to augment her extensive hands-on experience in all aspects of the hunter-jumper disciplines. Shelbi began riding at 6 years old where she learned the importance of proper horse care. She rode younger, inexperienced horses, as her career progressed, and prepared them to compete at the national level. Riding a variety of horses grew her talent for recognizing and developing young horses into national competitors. Shelbi rode and competed under the guidance of top professionals in the industry through her entire career. After the completion of her Junior years, she went to join JT Farm in South Salem NY as their barn manager under the guidance of professional Jimmy Toon.
