You've seen and read about the rise of urban farms in impoverished neighborhoods in the United States; now meet an urban cowboy. Malik Divers, who learned to ride as a young man, has a stable and corral in a narrow street in Southwest Philadelphia. Now, he is passing on his skills to the next generation. Divers provides an opportunity for young men, like Shahir Drayton, to get involved with and ride horses - keeping them out of trouble, boosting their confidence, and building community. "When I ride, people actually give me props and actually applaud me -- the hood guys and everything," Drayton says in the video. "They ask me ‘Can I ride?’”
