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.
