Jennifer Paul Joins Quarter Million Dollar Club
The National Snaffle Bit Association is pleased to welcome Jennifer Paul, of New Albany, Ohio, to its prestigious Quarter Million Dollar Club. Jennifer reached the milestone while competing at the 2025 NSBA World Championship Show and Breeders Championship Futurity in Tulsa, Oklahoma. NSBA’s Quarter Million Dollar Club recognizes exhibitors who have reached $250,000 in lifetime earnings as recorded by the association.
Jennifer grew up in Southeast Ohio and began her competitive career showing Halter horses. She and her mother, Bonnie McCulla, were fixtures on the AQHA circuits around Ohio where Jennifer showed horses such as Specifically Special and Ima Cool Diamond in Youth events, earning AQHYA world and Congress titles along the way.
Jennifer and her husband Judd created their training business and soon found themselves with a horse in training with an aptitude for Trail. While Judd began the couple’s journey into Trail competition, it was Jennifer who began earnestly learning about the discipline and received advice from other professionals, including Tommy Sheets. “I think I’ve taken a love for Trail because growing up I loved Showmanship so much,” she said. “It keeps my brain going, it’s always new, and it can be anyone’s day.”
Jennifer has shown such horses as Eyell Be Outrageous, Cruise, Some Hot Potential, Ur Ride Has Arrived, Code Ready, Rockin In My Sleep and Mystic Invitation and is a multiple NSBA World, Futurity and Quarter Horse Congress champion as well an AQHA World Champion. She became AQHA first female Leading Exhibitor in 2018.
Jennifer will be recognized at the NSBA Honors Banquet during the NSBA World Championship Show and Breeders Championship Futurity in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in August of 2026.
