Reason for sale:
Going into studies and prefer having only one horse.

This horse has been a part of my life for over two years and will only be sold to an approved home.
Shelby has quite a humorous personality and will bring anyone to the top given the right amount of pressure, patience and love.

Willing to have interested buyers come visit and ride, vet checks also welcome.
