Timeframe for King-Dye's recovery unknown

March 9, 2010

Courtney King-Dye

Dressage Olympian Courtney King-Dye remains in a coma following a fall from a horse last week, and her husband, New Zealander Jason Dye, said yesterday that there was no way of knowing the timeframe for her recovery.

"However, the neurosurgeons, doctors and nurses all agree the greatest strength she has is her age (32) and high level of fitness. What they don't know and I do is the unbelievable drive and determination that Courtney has, she will fight and fight and fight, no question," Dye said.

Dye thanked the equestrian world for the outpouring of support for Courtney. "It would mean the world to Courtney and she is being reminded of it frequently in our talks. She has always loved the community aspect of the dressage world and would love to know that it is coming together for her," he said.

King-Dye's Facebook page has been flooded with support, and another new page, "Please Pray for Courtney King-Dye", has many supportive comments.


Pro rider Heather Blitz, pictured above at The Palm Beach Derby, has started a helmet-wearing campaign. Many riders at the Derby traded their top hats for helmets following Courtney King-Dye's accident.
Dye said there is huge amount of love and support coming from family and friends, and many people worldwide have been praying for Courtney. "She has Buddhist Monks performing healing services for her from Taiwan to the USA to India. Her second family and friends in New Zealand (where I am from, and Courtney loves to visit) are sending all their love and healing energy from the Southern Hemisphere.

"Though I have not seen them all I understand there are many places online that are sending her huge messages of support and healing."

Jason Dye is filling Courtney's room with cards and photos "so she wakes up to see the support first hand."

Cards can be sent to: Courtney Dye, 2442 Muir Circle, Wellington, FL 33414, and messages to comebackcourt@gmail.com will be read to Courtney.
