Unbridled with Jennifer Glass

By Jan Westmark

When Jennifer Glass hands out ribbons at shows, her smile is as big as the riders’ receiving their awards. “I have the best job at the horse show,” she said. “I love the smiles of the riders when they’re accepting their ribbons.” While Jen is primarily the awards and sponsor relations director at horse shows, she wears different hats at shows throughout the country including Capital Challenge, the Vermont Summer Festival, Washington International, Pin Oak, Saratoga, the Winter Equestrian Festival and the USHJA National Championships. Jen is married to Billy Glass, a successful horse show manager who founded Capital Challenge with Oliver Kennedy. Jen met Billy at Howard Community College, where she worked and produced the Columbia Classic Grand Prix with Oliver. Jen married Billy in November 1998, graduated with an MBA from the University of Baltimore and moved to Florida where her first job on the road with Billy was ribbon girl at HITS Ocala. She’s been on the road and in the show ring ever since. In addition to her life in the show world, Jen has an equally interesting life as a competitive tournament fisherman.

How did your horse career start?

I grew up in Catonsville, Maryland, “small town USA.” When I was 10, I had a Quarter Horse named Lady McCue. My dad and my uncles built her a barn at our five-acre home and I took lessons and did a lot of trail riding.

What’s your favorite thing about being part of the horse world?

I love the production side of the shows. Horse show personnel travel to hundreds of different shows throughout the year. It’s always fun to reconnect with fellow staff and work as a team to produce the best shows.

Any favorite horse show experiences over the years?

I love judging the lead line class at Vermont Summer Festival. The children are precious and I love the answers they give during the Q&A part of the class. They steal my heart.

If you weren’t involved with the horse world, what career do you think you would have picked?

I would have chosen the travel industry. I love to see the world.

If you had a week off, what would you do?

Travel to some far-flung country and enjoy its most beautiful beach

Who inspires you?

Strong, intelligent, professional women — my mom, Susan Goodwin, a practicing nurse for 52 years; Ellen Veitch, who taught me everything I know about the horse show business; Vicki Lowell, Tracey Weinberg, Kim Tudor, Adele Einhorn, Brett Waters, Sue Harada, Michele Markward and Val Garza.

Where do you live in Florida?

Billy and I have lived on Pine Island for the past 22 years. It’s a beautiful old Florida island with palm tree farms and commercial fishing. We have wonderful friends who are third- and fourth-generation commercial fishermen raised on the island whom we consider family. A few of our horse show friends who have visited us over the years have moved there too.

What type of competitive tournament fishing do you do?

We fish inshore tournaments for snook, redfish, trout and tarpon. It’s thrilling to pull up to the weigh station with our fish in hopes of winning the tournament. Billy and I won a tournament and received a 17’ Hewes Redfisher boat as grand prize.

How do fishing tournaments compare to horse shows?

I really enjoy experiencing event production. When I’m at fishing tournaments, I’m interested in seeing how the event coordinators produce the tournaments.

What is your happy place?

I go to the beach as often as I can when I’m not on the road or working on the horse shows. It gives me solace and brings me back to the salt water.

What talents do you feel you have?

I think I’m a great listener, confidant and friend.

Do you have a personal motto or catch phrase?

I’ve been called a Swiss Army knife with a smile: always prepared and always happy.

What’s your favorite item of clothing to wear?

A bikini – it means I’m on a beach

What three items can usually be found in your refrigerator?

Wine, cheese and yogurt

What’s your favorite meal?

Steamed crabs

Favorite type of pizza?

Everything pizza

If you could have a superpower, what would it be?

The power to cure cancer and disease

What’s something everyone should try at least once?

Surfing

How would you like people to remember you?

As a kind girl with a huge heart

❗️George Williams column❗️ The FEI World ❗️George Williams column❗️
The FEI World Cup Final in Omaha is coming up quickly. That means that it’s starting to heat 
up as the end of the qualifying period for both the Western European League (WEL) and the 
North American League (NAL) nears. I started to write this column before the Amsterdam CDI- W, and I was using the FEI Ranking List from January 15 as a reference. As I sit down to finish 
my column, I’m now looking at the results from Amsterdam. While the list of the top contenders 
for the WEL hasn’t changed, they’re definitely moving around on the ranking list. The WEL has 
three more legs, as they’re referred to: Neumünster February 16–19, Goteborg February 23–26, 
and ’s-Hertogenbosch March 9–12, and they could change things dramatically.
Looking at the top 12 athletes from the WEL as they were ranked on January 15, there are five 
from Germany, three from the Netherlands and one each from Great Britain, Denmark

Lisa Goldman-Smolen and Ivaro N strike gold in Gre Lisa Goldman-Smolen and Ivaro N strike gold in Great American $300,000 Grand Prix at HITS Ocala!! 🏆🥇

Crowds filled the stands at the HITS Ocala Grand Prix Ring on Sunday afternoon to watch the world’s top athletes compete in the Great American $300,000 Grand Prix. The day concluded with a thrilling five-horse jump-off featuring athletes 
representing four countries. In the end, it was Lisa Goldman-Smolen (USA) and Ivaro N who produced the only double clear effort of the day, claiming one of the biggest wins of her career. Scott Keach (AUS) and Noble De La Chapelle earned the second-place prize with the fastest 4-fault jump-off, while Aaron Vale (USA) and Obi Wan placed third as the day’s pathfinders.

“I'm still on cloud nine, I still can't believe it – I’ve used up all my luck for the year,” smiled Goldman-Smolen after her win. “I've been knocking on the door a long time in these bigger classes. I am so proud of my horse – he gave every ounce of effort.”

Sunday’s Great American $300,000 Grand Prix marked the conclusion of the 2023 HITS Ocala circuit. HITS CCO Joe Norick concluded, “We are so excited about the new HITS, with 2023 as the launch. New footing, many new arenas here, and a lot of our facilities across America are getting a lot of love and new footing. Our partnerships with Worldly Martin and others across America including our footing leader Bart Poles overseeing our operations – it really makes a big difference for us. Today is about Ocala and these three riders sitting next to me who supported us this entire winter. We want to be a proud destination for our exhibitors and our friends. We know we have to provide them a beautiful showplace to work from that's horseman friendly, and that's our go goal. 

Congratulations to all of the riders, horses, owners, and groom who participated in this prestigious class!!! 🎉
