A Life With Horses, From Ireland to America: Eric Glynn, Assistant Trainer — Wellington, Florida

Eric Glynn

Where are you from?

I’m originally from Ireland, but I moved to America in 2018 with my wife to pursue my career with horses.

How long have you been part of the horse world?

My entire life. My grandad has a successful equestrian center in Ireland, so growing up horses were always part of my life. When my parents saw that I was very eager to ride at a young age, they built a yard at home so I could be involved with horses.

What part do you play in the horse world?

I’m an assistant trainer for Team Welles. At Team Welles, we have a variety of clients that compete at all different levels. I train the clients and the horses. I give lessons to help the clients and I take notes so that we can make a plan for the clients to benefit more and achieve their best outcome. I also compete in the ring myself when possible.

What’s your favorite thing about what you do?

Having success and achieving great results — there’s no better feeling.

Eric competing Fergie

What’s your biggest achievement?

Getting to train, work and deal with some of the top riders and trainers in the world — Jos Lansink, Cameron Hanley and Ger O’Neill, to name a few.

What are your goals for the future?

To keep working with our strong team at Team Welles, to keep achieving results and to make a good name for myself.

What’s the best thing about your life?

The ability to travel and meet some amazing, successful people and to travel around and see so much of the world while doing what I love. I live in Wellington, Florida, during the winter months, then we travel around as a team doing shows the rest of the year. I’m excited because this year we’re basing ourselves in Chicago for a few months.

Best kept secret?

From a very young age, my nicknames have been Smiley and Eggy. In school, one or two lads couldn’t pronounce my name right, so these stuck while growing up.

In the unique and challenging sport of combined dr In the unique and challenging sport of combined driving, Jacob Arnold has proven himself to be a bona fide star. It’s been said that success develops from a recipe based on hard work, perseverance, learning and sacrifice, paired with a love of what one is doing. Since the time he was a boy, Jacob has had the right combination of all of those ingredients, which have culminated in a meteoric rise to stardom.

Beginning his career as a Junior, Jacob earned the coveted @usequestrian Junior Equestrian of the Year award in 2011. Since then, he has taken the combined driving world by storm, competing successfully in four @fei_global World Championships. He also won the USEF Advanced Pair Horse National Championship in 2020 and 2021, among other victories—all before the age of 28, in a sport that has historically been dominated by older drivers. Last September, he placed 12th—the highest of any American driver—at the 2021 FEI Driving World Championship for Pairs in a field of over 100 top-level drivers.
