Horses In the Morning’s Glenn Hebert celebrates his receipt of the Equine Industry Visionary Award at the AHP Equine Media Conference in Lexington, KY.
Many congratulations are in order for a good friend of EN, Glenn Hebert of the Horses In the Morning radio show and founder of the Horse Radio Network, who was recently awarded the American Horse Publications (AHP) Equine Industry Visionary Award at the AHP Equine Media Conference in Lexington, Ky. earlier this month.
The Equine Industry Vision Award is given annually in recognition of outstanding leadership, creativity, and meritorious contributions toward positive changes in the equine industry. This distinguished award is a unique opportunity to publicly recognize ingenuity, originality, and effective innovation that exemplifies commitment, dedication and service to the equine industry.
The following is excerpted from a press release announcing the award:
Hebert’s impact on the equine industry spans decades, marked by innovation, inclusivity, and an unwavering commitment to connecting horse people around the world. In 2008, at a time when podcasting was still in its infancy, he founded the Horse Radio Network (HRN), creating what would become the largest online podcast network dedicated to the equine community.
Through HRN, Hebert has helped unite riders, professionals, and enthusiasts across disciplines, breeds, and geographic boundaries. His flagship show, Horses in the Morning, which he co-hosts, has produced thousands of episodes and is recognized as one of the longest-running daily podcasts of any genre. His work has introduced countless new audiences to the horse world while providing education and entertainment to seasoned equestrians alike.
Beyond his accomplishments as a media pioneer, Hebert is widely recognized for his generosity as a mentor and educator. He has guided aspiring podcast hosts within and beyond the equine industry, frequently sharing his expertise at conferences and industry events. His philosophy – that that a stronger media landscape benefits the entire equine industry – has helped elevate podcasting as a respected and influential communications platform.
Colleagues describe Hebert not only as a visionary, but as a unifier whose warmth and authenticity have built a global community. As one nominator noted, he has “a rare gift for making everyone feel included, whether they are a world-class professional or a first-time pony owner,” creating a welcoming space that reflects the very best of the horse industry.
Prior to launching HRN, Hebert’s hands-on experience in the industry included operating a boarding stable and tack store, where he was also an early adopter of online retail, giving him a comprehensive understanding of the equine world from the ground up. Today, even after the sale of HRN to Equine Network, he continues to serve as a leading voice in equine media, remaining closely connected to the audiences and community he helped build.
The EN team congratulates Glenn on this well-earned achievement!
