For Ashley Bosack, a recent graduate of Desert Hills High School and Arizona's High School Rodeo Queen, weekends are filled with competitions, award ceremonies and public appearances.
As an ambassador for the sport of rodeo, Ashley, 18, can be found each weekend at any one of a number of events across the Southwest. And she's been involved since before she was in middle school.
Last summer, Ashley was selected as Arizona's Rodeo Queen, and in July she competed for the national high school rodeo title in New Mexico, scoring a top 10 designation and furthering the career that she began at the age of 10.
"I've always been involved in all sorts of rodeo events," Ashley says. "It's just something I've always done, and loved to do."
As Arizona's Rodeo Queen, Ashley travels to schools throughout the state, speaking to students about the excitement of rodeo. In addition to competing at weekly events and making public appearances, the hard-working student trains horse and participated in the Desert Hills High School FFA program. "It all keeps me pretty busy," she says.
Ashley was recently awarded a full rodeo-related scholarship to Central Arizona College, and is a member of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association ( PRCA), a national group dedicated to the sport.
