Eventing Against All Odds

William Fox-Pitt suffered a head trauma after falling at the 2015 World Young Horse Championships in Le Lion-d'Angers, France. He spent a month in an induced coma in a French hospital before continuing his rehabilitation at a hospital in Dorset, England. Doctors told him he could return to competition in March 2016. "I remember very little of the fall, which is a good thing. During my recovery I realised that I might never compete again and asked myself if I wanted to do it. But I've put that thought out of my head and it's onwards and upwards." (bbc.co.uk, 23 Mar 2016; derbyhouse.co.uk, 22 Mar 2016; bbc.co.uk, 19 Oct 2015)
