Our industry is full of many types of people with diverse backgrounds who all share one thing, a love of horses. But there is so much more than meets the eye to many of these people.
We asked multiple Congress and AQHA World Champion, as well as GoHorseShow contributor, Shelby Ratliff of Lake Kiowa, Texas to list the Top 10 things she loves and hates. Ratliff is currently majoring in Advertising and Public Relations with a minor in Business Administration at Abilene Christian University in Abilene, Texas. Shelby and her horse, Willy Has Potential are currently competing in amateur hunter under saddle under the guidance of Highpoint Performance Horses. Check out her revealing comments below.
10 Things I Love
1. Coffee – I love a good cup of coffee or a dirty chai latte (extra shot of espresso) to be exact.
2. Working out – I like to workout and run a lot so I can eat lots of food.
3. A good glass of red wine.
4. French macaroons – I will drive any distance to find French macaroons.
5. Sunsets and the night sky – Texas hands down has the best sunsets and stars at night.
6. Sushi – I can eat a ridiculous amount of sushi and have no guilt.
7. People watching – everyone does it and we all have to admit we love it. There nothing likes people watching at the airport.
8. Beth Case – do I get brownie points for saying this?
9. Being on the water – I love to be out on the lake or at the beach. Lucky for me, I live on a lake so I am on it a majority of the summer.
10. My family, friends and God – Im very blessed to be around people who support me on everything I do.
10 Things I Hate
1. Bad drivers – I will be the first to admit Texas has a lot of bad drivers.
2. Texas weather – It snows one week then is 75 the next.
3. People who are on their phones at the dinner table – an hour away from your phone won’t kill you.
4. Fake people, liars and cheaters – just tell the truth, it will get you much further.
5. Needles – I am 21 years old and I still get anxiety when I have to get a shot to the point I pass out.
6. Dirty cars – I’m obsessed with keeping my car clean on the inside and out. You will never see it dirty.
7. The Kardashians – I could write a book on why I think they are the most ridiculous people ever. I can’t stand them with a passion.
8. Chinese food – I never have been, or will be, a fan
9. The cold – I don’t like cold weather at all especially when my ears, feet and nose get cold.
10. Cancer – too many great people suffer from it.
Thanks Shelby!
