Q: Introduce yourself to the EquiFit audience.
A: My name is Avery Glynn and I have grown up and am based out of Petaluma, California. I travel all around the country to complete in the equitation, hunters, and jumpers!
Q: How did you get started in riding?
A: My parents, Hope and Ned Glynn, are both professionals in the business.
Q: What would you say has been the most pivotal moment of your riding career so far?
A: I would probably say winning Taylor Harris Finals back in 2018. It was my first big win on the East Coast and I would like to say that it has opened a lot of doors for me especially in the equitation world.
Q: What are your short term and long term goals for the sport?
A: My short term goals are to have a successful and consistent fall finals season. My long term goals are to continue my riding at Auburn on their D1 Equestrian Team and to travel and compete internationally.
Q: Tell us about a horse that has made a lasting impact personally and/or professionally.
A: My horse, Cocon 4 would for sure be the horse that has made the largest impact in my riding career both personally and professionally. She has been my partner for the past 6 years. I still own her and ride her often but this year she has started to teach a younger kid the ropes of the equitation. She is the best partner a girl could ever ask for, truly, she is one of a kind.
Q: If you could ride any horse, who would it be?
A: Henrik von Eckermann's 2020 Tokyo Olympic mount, King Edward.
Q: If you had to swap disciplines, what style of riding would you move towards?
A: I would probably try three day Eventing or Dressage.
Q: What's your funniest horse show moment?
A: When I was 10, I got asked to catch ride a pony at the end of the day but my coat had gone home in my grandmas car so I had to borrow my moms coat in order to show. I was swimming in it, but I wasn’t going to miss out on the ride!
Q: What is your favorite go-to EquiFit product?
A: The D-Teq Front and Hind Boots for sure.
