Aspen Black as a Cowgirl and Educator:


Since 1995, Aspen Black has been the owner and operator of Buksbari Ranch, where she has taught horseback riding lessons in multiple disciplines to hundreds of students, ages 3 - 75, and trained, competed, and cared for over 1,000 horses.  She holds a degree in Equine Business Administration from Southern VA University. She has competed at the world level in barrel racing, ran IPRA rodeo, showed A & B level hunters, won gaited and competitive trail classes, and logged thousands of hours in the AQHA Horseback Riding Program.


As for her love for education, "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree", nor, in this case, the teacher's desk.  Aspen is the daughter of a 35-year veteran elementary school teacher and worked for six years in the Franklin County Public Schools as a RtI specialist and SIS, before leaving to home school her two children (now in 6th & 8th grades).
