UNCOVER: Brandon Rease

Hailing from Philly, Brandon started riding at a young age. After falling in love with horses and the sport of polo, Brandon went on to help establish the polo program at Roger Williams University, a team the won the collegiate championship in only its second year. 

Brandon shares that he was inspired to get into the industry by his friends Kareem and Daymar Rosser who were (and still are) active in Philadelphia’s Work to Ride program.   The ability to travel and ride horses exposed Brandon to a world of possibility. He stated that as a kid from Philly, you tend to think your only options are to become a recording artist or an athlete, but the Work to Ride program exposed him to so much more. Brandon was able to network with people from different socioeconomic and geographic backgrounds and he learned truly how diverse the horse world can be.   

In this episode, Brandon explains to us the game of polo and his goal to return to the game and play for himself. He is currently a budding entrepreneur with his new venue location launching in May 2020.
