Abdurrahman "Man-Man" Early, 16, sits on top of his horse Shadow near the humble stable in a poor part of Southwest Philadelphia where he takes care of the horses. Man-Man loves the thrill of riding, but also the dedication and responsibility of caring for horses. “I grew up in a bad place and I’ve done some bad things in the past,” he says. “I took some time off to think about everything, like, I’ll be eighteen in two years, I got college right around the corner. I gotta sit down, do what I need, and achieve what I always wanted to. I guess the horses just kept me on the right track.”
