2020-21 Princess Shelby Forgey is the 19 year old daughter of Brad and Jody Forgey. Born and raised in Anatone, she helps her dad with the family's farm and ranch, where she manages her own herd of cattle with her favorite sidekick, her dog Bex.

Shelby is a freshman at Walla Walla Community College where she is working toward her degree in Agriculture Business. After obtaining her degree she hopes to follow in the footsteps of her grandmother and aunt, working in the crop insurance industry around the Pacific Northwest.

As a Princess for the Lewiston Roundup, Shelby is looking forward to having the opportunity to be an advocate for the western heritage and the sport of rodeo. Knowing she’ll get to meet more people who are dedicated to the western way of life is just a small part of why she is so excited I get to spend the next year traveling throughout the Pacific Northwest with Queen Amie and Princess Danaira. Engaging with kids along the parade routes is one of her favorite parts to her role. The western way of life is something that she couldn’t see herself live without, and she is hopeful that she never has to.

Shelby has four great horses to help her through representing the roundup. Her main mount is an 11 year old sorrel mare named Dot. Shelby has had Dot for the last three years. They have competed in many horse shows and barrel races, however, Dots favorite tasks are the ranch related ones.  The other three consist of; Marley, a 13 year old AQHA Chestnut mare, Sis, a red roan 5 year old AQHA mare, and finally Louie, a 13 year old buckskin gelding.

Shelby, along with the rest of the court are looking forward to finally having a She’s Wild week this September. Shelby would especially like to welcome you Friday night to Tough Enough to Wear Pink Night, this is a very near and dear night for her as her inspiration for trying out for royalty passed away from breast cancer a few years back.

Shelby would like to thank all of her family and friends for helping her whenever she needs it. To the Lewiston Roundup Board of Directors for making everything possible, and to Royalty Directors Cheyenne and Drew for making sure we always look good.
