Margaret Bogie grew up in then rural Fairfax County. She learned horse care and riding as a 4-H-er. Over the last 45 years Bogie has maintained her passion for horses as a horse owner, breeder, and rider while pursuing a career in management and insurance sectors. She has had many riding lessons and horse show experiences along the way.
Currently, Bogie is preparing a stallion, Ironwood Blitzen, to begin eventing. This is a challenging competition for both horse and rider, involving dressage, stadium jumping, and cross country jumping.
