“When I said I wanted to bring horses to Linwood, people started clapping before I could even finish the sentence.” David Silver's journey from Westchester County, New York to Detroit's 12th Street-Davidson area is anything but typical—but it's also exactly what makes his work with Detroit Horse Power so impactful. On this episode of Detroit is Different, Silver reflects on a life shaped by horses, privilege, and a growing awareness of inequity. “I grew up in a bubble,” he admits, describing his upbringing in an affluent community where he had access to elite horseback riding training. But when Teach for America brought him to Burns Elementary on Grand River and Greenfield, his world expanded—and so did his mission. “I had students who were persevering through life every single day, but didn't realize that was a strength.” He saw firsthand the character traits needed to thrive—resilience, empathy, confidence—and began to connect them back to his own experiences with horses. The result: a vision for a program that introduces Detroit youth to equestrian life while building essential life skills. “You fall off a horse, you get back on. That's life.” With community support and a forthcoming $12 million equestrian center being built in Hope Village on the former Paul Robeson Academy site, Silver is literally transforming empty space into a sanctuary of possibility. “This ain't Mr. Ed,” he jokes. “This is about power, about confidence, about trust.” His 10-year journey to this point has been one of endurance and evolution, driven by community relationships, the guidance of Detroit elders, and a powerful belief that “every kid deserves the chance to say, ‘what else can I do?'” This conversation is a deep dive into how culture, education, and nature can intersect to heal communities.

These are some interesting facts from the article “30 Things you probably didn't know about horses” by Mihaela Husar in the September 17th of 2013 publication. Did you know that An adult horses' brain only weighs about half that of a human- 22 ounces? Did you know that Horses have good taste in music? They like listening to classical music, finding it comforting and serene. Did you know that A horse heart weighs 10 pounds?! Did you know that horses cannot breath through their mouths?. Did you know that horses drink at least 25 gallons of water a day, even more in hot climates? Did you know that Horses' teeth never stop growing? Did you know that the oldest horse on record has lived until the age of 62 years? Well, I hope you enjoyed these fun fuel facts on horses. This is Hudson Robertson, enjoy the show! Romy: Thank you Hudson – love the fun fuel! Now that we have our minds on the interesting features of horses, let's drop in on my conversation with David Silver of Detroit Horse Power… Romy: Okay, so let's catch up. What's happening with Detroit Horsepower. We touched base with you mid-year, 2016. Now, it's ... at this time that we're talking; it's early 2017. I've been following some of your social media, but I'd love to get an update of where you're at. David: Absolutely. When we last spoke, we were just getting ready for our 2016 Summer expansion. We got started in 2015 with two weeks of summer camps that had 18 participants, and we grew. Summer 2016 was a big expansion for us. We had six weeks of camps with 91 participants. 11 of those original 18 were back for a second year which was really exciting. Those kids were ... had been waiting eagerly for horse camp to come back. We were able to grow and give an additional, 70 plus kids, that unique enrichment. We had a really fantastic partnership this summer with a horse facility called, Ringside Equestrian Center, which is out in New Hudson. It's out 96 on the way to Lansing. It's not that close to Detroit. It took us about 45 minutes each day, but really wonderful folks who donated the use of their space and their horses to continue in this pilot model, where we're bringing kids to where the horses are for the summer programs. Romy: Awesome. How many did you have the year before? 91, that's amazing. David: Big expansion over 18. 2015 was really like, proof of concept. We had never done it before. This isn't currently being offered in Detroit, so we just got started, got our feet wet in 2015. Then, really made a big push to do a lot more in this...

Detroit Horse Power founder and equestrian, David Silver, is interviewed by Romy. Learn about the passion for children behind the vision and the expansive potential impact of this great social enterprise! http://bonfiresofsocialenterprise.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/DetroitHorsePower_1.png () http://bonfiresofsocialenterprise.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/63.jpg ()   Full transcript Romy: Let's get started. David, will you first tell us about Detroit Horse Power? Then, we'll dive back into the history. David: Sure. Detroit Horse Power is a nonprofit I started to expand opportunities for kids who live in the City of Detroit by teaching them valuable life lessons through riding and caring for horses. Our long-term goal is to combine this powerful youth development opportunity with vacant land revitalization by building a new urban riding center on some of Detroit's vacant land, the unused space in the city. We've experienced significant population decline over many decades, and it's left a real burden on communities and turning that burden into a community asset. It's a really exciting opportunity for our long-term plans. Romy: That's good. Right out of the gate, we got two really cool social missions. Here we go, the youth development with caring for horses and rehabbing the vacant land. I know you've got a background in horses because we've talked a lot. Will you take us back to how this evolved? David: I grew up as a competitive horseback rider in Westchester, New York. The sport I grew up riding in is called Three-Day Eventing which is actually an Olympics sport. I was fortunate to have a supportive family and a horse of my own. We were able to get a lot of training, traveling, and competing, and setting goals, and working hard to achieve them. It wasn't until later, I ended up taking a bit of a break from horses to make the most of my college experience. I went to Dartmouth. Then, I moved to Detroit in 2012 through Teach for America. As I was seeing the tremendous needs for our kids in the City of Detroit who have so many obstacles stacked against them whether it's unstable neighborhoods or families moving around a lot or not able to meet kids' needs, I saw a real important need for more safe and enriching space outside of school that are giving kids skills that set them up for future success. All of this was going on while space I had from my childhood experience with horses allowed me to reflect on the powerful ways horses have shaped who I am today. Things like the confidence that comes with riding, responsibility for another living being, and perseverance to not give up when things get hard. There’re so many powerful life lessons that horses can teach us. It became a natural next step for me to combine this powerful background in my story with my passion for expanding opportunity for Detroit to use. Romy: That's good. Before we go further into the social mission, what made you think about staying in Detroit to do it because there’re not horses walking around the city? David: It's a unique opportunity. First of all, I feel very fortunate to have been placed in Detroit. I didn't know very much about the city, and I don't have any family in Michigan, but I feel a very strong connection with the City of Detroit and the hardworking people who are doing incredible things to build a strong future for residents. What became the most compelling opportunity, in my mind, is horses combine the research-based therapeutic effects for at-risk youth, among other populations, in need with a large space requirement. They're big animals, and they take up a lot of space. In most cities, that would be a deal breaker because most cities don't have large amounts of open space for a large riding center. In Detroit, that actually really matches a big need that's going to help build a strong foundation for all of the Detroit to have a strong future. Where this wouldn't be possible hardly anywhere...
