'Horses saved my life' - how a boy from West Philly made polo history

BBC World Service - Outlook, 'Horses saved my life' - how a boy from West Philly made polo history

A chance discovery catapulted Kareem Rosser into the elite world of polo.

When Kareem Rosser's brothers stumbled upon a barn of horses in the middle of the city, it changed their families' life forever.

Kareem Rosser grew up in one of Philadelphia’s most deprived neighbourhoods - an unlikely environment to discover a love for the elite game of polo, also known as the sport of kings. He shares his story of making history with his all African American team.
