Unbridled with John Walsh

By Lauren R. Giannini

John Walsh is a celebrated anti-crime advocate and the well-known host of “America’s Most Wanted,” which was instrumental in rounding up more than 1,100 felons during its long run from 1988 to 2012. He’s still a dedicated crime fighter and his latest vehicle is “The Hunt with John Walsh,” now in its third season on CNN. John is an avid polo player, often donating his celebrity presence at charity fundraiser matches and tournaments around the country. Horse genes run in the Walsh family: John and Revé have a daughter, Meghan, and two sons, Callahan and Hayden, who all ride. The boys proved very instrumental in their dad picking up a polo mallet for the first time in his 50s. John got hooked on the game and he’s just as single-minded and driven about polo as he is about bringing criminals to justice.

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.
