Irish showjumper Kevin Babington is among six equestrians to be honoured at an awards ceremony next month.
Kevin will receive the lifetime achievement award at United States luxury lifestyle magazine Robb Report’s Horsepower Gala in a virtual ceremony on 18 February. The gala, which raises funds for and increases awareness of horse abuse, neglect, and slaughter, will feature a live auction with proceeds going to welfare charity Equus Foundation.
Kevin, who represented Ireland on the European, World and Olympic stage, returned to teaching last year after sustaining life-changing injuries in a fall at the Hampton Classic Horse Show in August 2018. He receives the award for his “commitment to safeguarding the dignity of America’s horses”.
