FIL EVANS WAKES FROM COMA 05.jpg
Jonty Evans, the Irish International Three Day Event rider, has emerged from a coma that he has been in since receiving a serious head trauma at Tattersalls Horse Trials six weeks ago, according to an announcement from his family at lunchtime today.
Irish international event rider Jonty Evans has regained consciousness and is responding well at Connolly Hospital in Dublin, his family have revealed today (Friday).
The statement read: “We are pleased to report that over the past 10 days Jonty’s condition has continued to slowly improve. Jonty has now regained consciousness and is beginning to interact positively with the medical team and his family.
“Jonty is having physiotherapy and rehabilitation sessions, which will continue for the foreseeable future as he regains strength and his head injury continues to improve. Due to the need for Jonty to remain in a quiet and calm environment for a significant period of time, and to continue his recovery as privately as possible, the medical team have advised the family to keep visitors strictly to a minimum.”
Earlier this year Evans launched a successful crowd funding scheme to buy his Olympic horse 'Art' when it was due to be sold by its owners.
