Courtney has been in a coma since her accident, as the result of a skull fracture, up until March 29th. She has been regaining consciouness, slowly but surely, and today’s update by her husband Jason happily reports that thanks to speech therapy, she has been able to say a few words and focus on certain objects for a small amount of time.

Supporters are encouraged to send well-wishes to her at comebackcourt@gmail.com.

She has recently been transferred to Teterboro, New Jersey where she will continue her recovery.

Regardless of discipline, many riders have been touched by injury at some point in their riding careers, due to the unpredictability of our beloved horses. Please support Courtney’s recovery, as this is an opportune time to rally together and support those who have fallen.

Here is a video tribute for Courtney, made by a supporter in 2008 and even more poignant now.

Please excuse our appearance, we are hard at work to get our new layout up and running. It may be another week or so until construction is complete, since I will be in Florida blogging from the George Morris clinic!
