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

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鈥檚 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.
