Thank you for the article 💚
Unlike most of her peers, Jenell Pogue didn’t grow up on a ranch or have a rich family tradition in the horse industry. She grew up in a subdivision.
Her first interaction with a horse happened when she was ten years old–when she took her first riding lesson.
“My stepdad went to the Culver Military Academy, which has the historic Black Horse Troop,” she says. “I fell in love with the horses. Randomly, someone in the program was instructing at a local barn, so I asked if I could take a lesson. He assumed I’d ridden a horse before, but it was my very first time on horseback.”
Jenell was hooked and quickly signed up to take more lessons, which progressed to leasing horses and later competing in 4-H. But she didn’t have a horse of her own until her grandparents stepped in.
