My name is Ava, and I am 12 years old. I have ridden horses every chance I could since I was a baby. I have ridden with the Renegades off and on for the longest time. I ride with them whenever I can. First, my sister and Mother and I rode with them in the Piqua All Horse Holiday Parade in 2019. Then COVID came. Later, in 2022, my mother and I started riding with them again. We rode the entire season of 2022 and 2023, but then we moved to Knoxville, Tennessee, and I couldn’t ride with them as often. When Katie’s horse,Hunter, could no longer hold up to drill, she gave him to me, and I am his forever home. The last time I rode with them was at the Outlaws Competition in Kentucky Horse Park in October, 2025. I hope to do a ride or two with them this year, too.
