Work to ride. This program allowed some boys from the streets of a bad neighborhood to come and ride horses. They didn't just ride, they played polo. When people think of polo, people think rich. In this case, it was some poor boys. They had no where to train and barely any tack supplies. Yet they started to beat other teams.
They had their hardships though. One of the best players on the team was shot dead at her house right after polo practice. Then the team captain got into drugs and landed jail time. Yet they still made it to the nationals and beat a polo team from a fancy club in Baltimore. This just goes to show you what can happen when you put your mind to something and strive to achieve it.
