Shane
Rose, the popular winner of last season's the Adelaide CCI****, has suffered
multiple facial fractures after being kicked by a horse writes Alison Duthie.
"Shane
was long reining a young racehorse through some starting stalls at his property,
in Werombi, NSW, when the horse lashed out, kicking him in the face. He was knocked
unconscious for a few seconds and was rushed to a nearby hospital by fellow event
rider Blair Richardson, who witnessed the accident. Shane was put into a medically
induced coma to stabilise him and control his swelling. "During
the first week he underwent three operations, including a tracheotomy and some
facial reconstruction. He regained consciousness at the end of last week, but
was unable to speak due to the tracheotomy and his eyes were so swollen he couldn't
see.
"However, his partner Niki Chapman said, "Shane is very
alert and answers questions with a nod." "Shane
will be in hospital for some time yet as the painstaking job of facial reconstruction
continues." |
