We have more good news this morning as William Fox-Pitt continues to recover from the head injury sustained in his fall at Le Lion d’Angers on Oct. 17. British Eventing reports that William “continues to make really good progress” and as a result flew home to England yesterday, where he will continue his rehabilitation.

His wife Alice says, “His recovery is likely to take time, but he is up and about and improving day by day. We are exceptionally grateful for the huge amount of support we have received.”

Official updates will now be released periodically on the Fox-Pitt Eventing website, and EN will continue to post those updates here as we follow William’s road to recovery.

We continue to wish William and the entire Fox-Pitt family all the best.
