Glenn Cornick (Barrow-in-Furness, 23 de abril de 1947 - Hilo (Havaí), 28 de agosto de 2014) foi um músico britânico. Foi o primeiro baixista e um dos fundadores do Jethro Tull. Ele saiu da banda depois de seu terceiro álbum, Benefit, em 1970. Seu estilo (meio virtuoso, meio performático), fica presente nas primeiras músicas da banda, como "Bouree" e "The Witch's Promisse".
Cornick foi "convidado" a deixar o Tull pelo empresário Terry Ellis, mas recebeu o apoio e encorajamento para formar sua própria banda, Wild Turkey, que obteve certo êxito com alguns álbuns e turnês - em 1972, abriram os shows para a turnê mundial do Black Sabbath.
Ele mudou-se depois para Berlim, onde gravou o álbum "Rock'n Roll Testament" com a banda Karthago. Mais tarde, nos EUA, formou o grupo Paris com Bob Welch, ex-Fleetwood Mac. A parceria durou até 1977, quando Cornick abandonou a música e se tornou gerente de vendas de uma empresa de alimentos.
Depois de dez anos voltou a tocar, participando em vários projetos - inclusive uma reunião dos Wild Turkey, lançando mais três álbuns.
Cornick morreu em Hilo, no Havai, a 28 de agosto de 2014, por causa de insuficiência cardíaca congestiva.
The album is often considered the second in a trio of folk rock albums released by the band at the end of the 1970s, alongside Songs from the Wood (1977) and Stormwatch (1979). In contrast to the British folklore-inspired lyrical content found on Songs from the Wood, Heavy Horses adopts a more realist and earthly perspective of country living - the album and its title track are dedicated to the "indigenous working ponies and horses of Great Britain". Musically, the album sees the band continuing the combination of folk and progressive rock found on Songs from the Wood, although with an overall darker and more sober sound fitting the changed lyrical content.

Glenn Douglas Barnard Cornick (Barrow-in-Furness, 23 April 1947 – Hilo, Hawaii, 28 August 2014) was a British bass player, best known as a founding member of the British band Jethro Tull. Rolling Stone has called his playing with Tull as "stout, nimble underpinning, the vital half of a blues-ribbed, jazz-fluent rhythm section".
