You’re Support is Changing Lives!

The Kevin Babington Foundation was established to provide funding and support to show jumping athletes who have sustained spinal injuries. Since its inception in 2019, YOU have successfully fulfilled this mission.

Thanks to your unwavering support, many athletes—from Kevin Babington himself to Jonathan Millar, Kim Prince, Alexis Halbert, and David Bisel—have received not only vital financial assistance during the most challenging times of their lives but also invaluable guidance and connections to specialized hospitals and effective treatment options.

“Just over a year ago I suffered a traumatic spinal and brain injury that was nearly catastrophic,” says Jonothan Millar. “The equestrian community and the Kevin Babington Foundation rallied behind me during my recovery.”

The reason the Kevin Babington Foundation can provide this incredible support is because of YOU, our incredible supporters and donors.

“When I joined the Kevin Babington Foundation I knew the love the industry had for Kevin,” says Chairman Jeff Papows. “Now to see the same love and support to all the fellow horse men and women during their difficult times is truly inspirational.”
