AVA POPE, Equestrian
Class of 2026
Welcome to my site where you can learn more about me, my accomplishments and my college goals for fall of 2026.
As an equestrian, I am proud to say that I have been riding and showing in many areas, from Western horsemanship and showmanship to barrel racing and reining.
My main area of expertise is horsemanship and I train extensively with Dianne Eppers and Valerie Kearns.
In school, I carry a 4.6 weighted GPA and am enrolled in Honors and AP classes. In addition to my studies, I am an active member of:
Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA)
National Honor Society (NHS)
Student Council
Outside of school, I am the Vice President of the Illinois Quarter Horse Youth Association (ILQHYA).
My goal is to attend a college where I am able to continue my love of riding and contribute to the Western equestrian team.
