A Philadelphia jury has awarded $2.36 million to a boy kicked in the face by a horse at a program famous for involving inner-city youths in horseback riding and polo matches.

Plaintiff Pharaoh Williams and Williams’ mother, Callie Williams, of North Philadelphia, sued Work to Ride Inc. — a nonprofit created in 1994 to provide urban youths with activities centered around horses — for the broken jaw and other injuries Williams suffered after he was kicked in the face by a horse being loaded into a trailer, according to court papers. Work to Ride operates out of Chamounix Equestrian Center in Fairmount Park.
