The Chronicle of the Horse has written an article with an update on Caitlin Silliman’s condition after sustaining a head injury from a fall on September 26. She is due to be transferred to a rehabilitation facility later today. Boyd Martin told the Chronicle that Caitlin didn’t suffer any brain damage or damage to her spinal column. She is expected to make a full recovery. Apparently the fall happened when her horse tripped while trotting, and Caitlin tumbled off, bumping her head (below the helmet) on the kickboard of the arena.
Best wishes to Caitlin to get well soon! And let this be a reminder to everyone: wear your helmet! You never know when even the steadiest of horses may stumble or take a bad step.
