I wanted to share some of Shelby's barn stuff. When she, her parents and her first husband Cody, were living in Sheridan I went up to help her clean the barn. She had young horses in the arena with saddles on them, some snubbed in the barn. It was hot and the fly's were insane. Normal stuff. Shelby walked around with her fly swater killing only the flies that looked like they were mating. We laughed so hard we nearly wet ourselves. Two adult women, with a warped sense of fly control. Something only, the Shelby could come up with. Shelby was an inspiration to my daughter Mik. Mik was only five, and Shelby is her idol. Now, fourteen, Mikki is a Top Ten Elite rider and following Shelby into the NBHA in the Jr. Division. She touched many lives, made many friends, many memories, made the most mundane task the funniest thing, one could do. Like her dad said, she was more fun than a barrel of monkeys. I look at my charm bracelet and I always think of Shelby JO. Super dork. You're a bright star in our sky!
