Pitman grew up on her family's farm near Hoby, Leicestershire, the fourth of seven children. Her father, George, was a tenant farmer who "kept a few of everything". The farm had no electricity, gas supply or mains water. She was brought up assisting in manual farm work, where horse powered equipment was a novelty, and learned to ride a pony "so young that being on horseback seemed as natural as walking". In 1957 she left the Hoby village school to attend Sarson Secondary Modern Girls' School in Melton Mowbray. She sustained a fractured skull when a showjumping pole fell on her head during a gymkhana at Syston and it was many months before the resultant convulsions were diagnosed. At the age of 14, she obtained a weekend and school holiday job at Brooksby Grange horse racing yard.The most expensive item with a signature of Jenny Pitman (Jenny Pitman The Autobiography & The Inheritance . signed 1st Editions) was sold in July 2019 for £30.00 while the cheapest item (Signed Guernsey Race Club Card 28/5/1984 ( Jenny Pitman).) found a new owner for £0.99 in September 2019.
