PONY Tales knew we recognised Eoin Glynn when he was announced as the new President of Veterinary Ireland at the Association’s AGM and annual conference in Kilkenny last week.

The Co Galway vet was a regular on the show jumping circuit in his young rider days, competing (and winning) at the RDS among other events. On congratulating him on his new role this week, he told us that he is still breeding sport horses at home and producing horses when he gets a chance but, as you can imagine, he is kept busy.
