Whether she’s racing around the barrels or representing the sport she loves, she takes pride in sharing her passion for rodeo and inspiring the next generation of cowgirls and cowboys. Outside the arena, Ava is a dedicated student and active member of the Joaquin Equestrian Sports Club and Student Council.
