Rough Riders
In November 2003, REAL SPORTS reported the inspiring story of at-risk kids from the hardscrabble streets of Philadelphia who sought refuge in the unlikeliest of sports. Lezlie Hiner has run her "Work to Ride" program since 1994, welcoming dozens of disadvantaged youths to suburban Fairmount Park, where they learn to ride horses and play polo. Her charges, ranging in age from seven to 19, earn their keep by performing general maintenance in the stables, including cleaning and grooming the horses. The payoff comes when they get to compete against other teams, and they often hold their own against more privileged counterparts. Mary Carillo revisits this extraordinary Philadelphia team and the warm-hearted coach who founded and serves as executive director of the organization.
