As a quick note this morning, I’d like to extend a big dose of Eventing Nation’s thoughts and prayers to Forrest Allen, who was severely injured in a snowboarding accident earlier this week. Forrest suffered brain and spine trauma and is currently recovering at my alma mater’s University of Virginia hospital, which is one of the best trauma hospitals in the country. Forrest is the son of Dr. Kent Allen, one of the preeminent sports medicine vets in the country. Dr. Allen writes a series of articles for the Chronicle, including an article about prepurchase exams that was published this morning. Forrest’s family is with him at the hospital and they are keeping people updated on Forrest’s recovery with Forrest’s blog. [Forrest’s Recovery Blog via LK and SI]
