The Horseman's Trail: Philip A. DeVita's Equestrian Journey

By Angela DeVita Pear

Many told him he could not do it.

It was a million to one chance for success.

It was a fool's errand.

But he did it anyway.

To spend his life studying and working with

the one animal he truly loved-the horse.

Well, that is it in a nutshell.

That was his calling, his direction in life.

Call it his destiny.

How he did it is right here, right here in these pages.

Read it and understand how a boy's dream became a reality.

A true story of a boy born and bred in the streets of East Harlem of New York City, an inner city, who, by pursuing a childhood dream and dedicating his life's work to attain his goal, became a highly accomplished horseman, trainer, showman, and a judge in the prestigious world of hunters and jumpers, receiving achievement awards for his efforts in his field.

At the age of seventeen, he enlisted in the Navy during the Korean War and was assigned to the USS Lake Champlain, which was an aircraft carrier.

Awarded the US Hunter and Jumper Lifetime Achievement Award.

Awarded the US Hunter and Jumper Honorary Distinction Award.

Awarded (posthumously) the "Pegasus Award" from the US Equestrian Federation Richard E. McDevitt Award of Merit.
