We love seeing the cross-collaboration across disciplines, and this weekend Phillip Dutton and his longtime supporter and owner, Caroline Moran, accepted a check from the U.S. Polo Association to benefit the Philadelphia program Work To Ride as it builds toward a new facility and growth for youth in the inner city to have a haven of horses to connect with.
You may recognized Work To Ride as one of the focal parts of Kareem Rosser’s first book, Crossing the Line. We’ve been diving into his second book, When You’re Ready, which details his relationship with Phillip’s stepdaughter/Evie Dutton’s daughter, Lee Lee Jones, before and after a life-altering riding accident. Stay tuned for a review of When You’re Ready coming soon on EN, as well as special mini-episode of The Go Eventing Podcast in the next few weeks featuring an exclusive interview with Kareem.
You can learn more about Work To Ride and how you can support their ongoing growth here, and you can find Kareem’s books here.

The reviews are in and Kentucky Performance Products’ Trouble Free behavior and calming supplement is having great results! Here’s one review from a recent user:
“After purchasing my 7-year old gelding, it was very evident that he had a lot of anxiety. He frantically weaved in his stall all the time! This put a lot of extra stress on his front legs, especially his front right that has navicular changes. A friend of mine recommended trying Trouble Free and it was a life changer! After a couple days on Trouble Free powder, he started to weave less and less! His eyes got softer and his sweet personality began to shine through! I had never used a supplement that worked so fast and so well!”
