Shelby Williams
Program Management Team
Founder, Director & Lead Instructor
Shelby’s passion for horses began at a young age and only grew stronger after getting her first horse, Ginger. That bond inspired her to pursue a lifelong career in the horse industry. After earning her Associate of Science degree from Richland College, Shelby continued her education at Meredith Manor International Equestrian Centre in West Virginia, where she graduated in 2013 with certifications in Riding Master Level III, Training, Teaching, and Equine Massage Therapy. Driven by a desire to make a difference through horsemanship, Shelby became a PATH Intl. Certified Therapeutic Riding Instructor in 2014 and spent five years teaching therapeutic riding at a center in North Texas. In 2017, she earned her Bachelor’s in Equine Studies from Texas A&M University–Commerce, now known as East Texas A&M University.
Shelby is also proud to serve as the Rules and Regulations Coordinator for the Chisholm Challenge Horse Show. Her deep knowledge, hands-on experience, and heartfelt dedication continue to shape the vision and values of Texas Equine.
