9TH RALLY EDITION: OCTOBER 10 – 19, 2024

Desert Roots

It all started in Amboy, 2022. Ahhh, the year of the frightening masked child! Shelby has an irrational fear of scary masks, and was by far the masked child’s favorite prey! Rori and Shelby happened to be sitting at the same dinner table, and when Shelby returned from the restroom – running and in tears – an organic, genuine, laugh out loud, connective moment happened. They now thank the scary, masked child for giving the two a good laugh, and a great memory. Their friendship bloomed on night 5 of the 2022 Rebelle Rally. Both lovers of the outdoors, dogs and competition: these two were more than excited to create a new friendship and become new cockpit mates!

Fun Fact:

I love to garden! I love tending to the garden, tilling the soil with my hands and watching them thrive and grow. My house is filled with all different and exotic plants - 20 plants throughout the whole house! Then there's the front and back yard...to be continued ;)

Why the Rebelle? Why now?

I choose to Rebelle because I love the competition. I love the way it challenges me and makes me better. It's hard, and I like hard things!

Be the person your dog thinks you are!

Fun Fact:

When I grow up, I want to own a dog sanctuary where young and senior dogs can live their best life!!

Why the Rebelle? Why now?

Why not! An annual 2 week vacation to step out of your comfort zone, shut off your phone and go on an off road adventure. Wish they were BI- annual!

Who, or what, inspires you most?

There are so many people that inspire me that I cannot name just ONE. I have a few that inspire me daily to be a better me but anyone who pushes themselves out of their comfort zones, continues to set goals to make themselves better in any way, anyone who does something even though people told them they couldn't. I believe I meet people all the time that inspire and trigger a drive in me to always live life to its fullest and be the best me.

Greatest adventure to date?

Other than the Rebelle... My husband Erik and I took our dog Irie and went on a 2+ week road trip through CA, OR, WA, ID, MT, UT AND NV. We had our truck, a pull behind pop up tent and just the necessities. It was a perfect, amazing adventure with some of the BEST memories.
