Courtney Dye hospitalised with serious head injury

United States Olympic dressage rider Courtney Dye is in a coma following a riding accident last week.

Courtney fell from a young horse, suffering serious head injury and is currently in hospital in Palm Beach, Florida, in a stable coma.

Her husband, Jason Dye, posted the following comments on courtneykingdressage.com


There is no way of knowing the timeframe for recovery, however the Neurosurgeons, Doctors and Nurses all agree the greatest strength she has is her age and high level of fitness. What they don’t know and I do is the unbelievable drive and determination that Courtney has, she will fight and fight and fight, no question.

I know there has been an outpouring of support at all levels and want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for that, it would mean the world to Courtney and she is being reminded of it frequently in our talks. She has always loved the community aspect of the dressage world and would love to know that it is coming together for her.

She would also be happy to know that we have our bases covered and can draw strength from many places, the energy level in the world pulling for her full recovery is immense. There is the huge amount of love and support from her family and friends . She has Prayer’s being said constantly worldwide. She has Buddhist Monks performing healing services for her from Taiwan to the USA to India. Her 2nd family and friends in New Zealand (where I am from, and Courtney loves to visit) are sending all their love and healing energy from the Southern Hemisphere. Though I have not seen them all I understand there are many places online that are sending her huge messages of support and healing.

Thank you again to everyone for your support, she is amazing and deserves it.
