Meet Shai Schaefer
Multi-talented breakaway roper, teacher, rancher, and rodeo standout.
Shai Schaefer has a lot on her plate and she thrives on it. A professional breakaway roper hailing from the Northwest and now based in North Texas, Shai balances life on the ranch with teaching science online, coaching high school volleyball, and competing at top rodeos.
In February 2024, she shocked the rodeo world at the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo with a blazing 1.5-second breakaway run shattering the arena record and walking away with a $5,000 win.
Beyond her athletic achievements, Shai is a master of multi-tasking teaching from her trailer between rodeo destinations, coaching, ranching, and competing all while maintaining a fierce bond with her horse, Ricky Bobby.
