With a large and growing collection of five-star reviews, the response has been overwhelmingly positive, reinforcing what so many have always known: Kevin’s story reaches far beyond the show ring.

While the reviews speak for themselves, the true impact of the book lies in the conversations it has inspired.

Readers have described Babington as a story of perseverance, friendship, humility, and hope. It is a reminder that while championships may define a career, it is character that defines a legacy.

For the Kevin Babington Foundation, that message carries even greater significance.

Every copy purchased is 100% contributed, aka every penny, to the Foundation’s mission of providing financial assistance and critical resources to show jumping athletes recovering from spinal cord injuries. The book has become more than a fundraiser—it has become another way the equestrian community is rallying around one of its own while helping future athletes facing unimaginable challenges.

Kevin’s journey—from a young rider in Ireland to Olympian, international champion, devastating spinal cord injury, and unwavering advocate for others—continues to inspire people both inside and outside of equestrian sport.

Written by Jeff Papows, PhD and Michael Cruciotti, with a foreword by author and motivational speaker Tom Sullivan, Babington: Triumph, Tragedy, Inspiration tells a story that transcends sport. It is a testament to resilience, the strength of family and friendship, and the extraordinary power of a community that refuses to let one of its own stand alone.

As more readers discover Kevin’s story, one message continues to emerge:

This is not simply a book about an Olympic rider.

It is a book about overcoming life’s greatest obstacles with courage, grace, and unwavering determination.

The Kevin Babington Foundation extends its heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has purchased the book, shared a review, recommended it to a friend, or helped spread Kevin’s story. Together, the equestrian community is ensuring that this message of resilience continues to reach new audiences while directly supporting athletes who need it most.

Today, the Kevin Babington Foundation proudly joins millions of Americans in celebrating Independence Day and the 250th Anniversary of the United States of America.

For a quarter of a millennium, our nation has stood as a symbol of courage, opportunity, perseverance, and hope. This historic milestone serves as a reminder of the generations who have worked to build stronger communities, support one another through adversity, and preserve the freedoms that allow us to pursue our dreams.

At the Kevin Babington Foundation, those same values are reflected every day through the remarkable generosity of the equestrian community.

Whether supporting an injured athlete, volunteering at a fundraiser, raising awareness, or simply lending a helping hand, our supporters continually demonstrate that the strength of a community is measured not only by what it achieves, but by how it cares for one another.

As we celebrate this special Fourth of July, we also pause to express our sincere gratitude to the men and women who have served—and continue to serve—our country. Their dedication and sacrifice have helped preserve the freedoms we are privileged to enjoy today.

“Our Foundation has always been built on people coming together in support of something greater than themselves,” said Jeff Papows, Chairman of the Kevin Babington Foundation and former Marine Corp Officer. “The Fourth of July reminds us that unity, service, and compassion are values that continue to define our nation and inspire our community.”

This year also marks an exciting time for the Foundation as we prepare to begin shipping the first copies of Babington: Triumph, Tragedy, Inspiration beginning July 6.
