Jennifer Paul of JP Show Horses in Albany, Ohio, joined the prestigious NSBA Quarter Million Dollar Club on Thursday, August 14th, at the 2025 NSBA World Championship Show, and she was honored fittingly in the Trail arena in the Pavilion, as JP Show Horses focuses on all around horses, with a highly successful emphasis on Trail.
For Jennifer, she says winning the achievement is “an honor and a dream come true for me. I knew I was close, and I thought maybe if I had a good horse show the whole time, I could reach it. I didn’t expect it to happen right away.”
As a professional with an incredible lifetime of knowledge, she was asked for her input on how she imparts her wisdom to others. “We do have an assistant, Brian Bennett, who works for us, and I take what he knows and give him some of my finesse and ways of doing things.”
One of the special characteristics of JP Show Horses surrounds their ability to pass their wealth of knowledge along to their customers as well, teaching them to ride and not just show. They are those who comes to mind first when Jennifer was asked who she’d like to thank for reaching this pinnacle of her career.
“I’d like to thank all our thank all our customers, my husband, Judd, our daughter, Allie, and my family.”

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.
