Our thoughts and best wishes are with Darren Chiacchia who was badly injured following a fall last weekend at the Red Hills Horse Trials. Following a misstep by his horse, Baron Verdi, Chiacchia suffered a serious head injury and other injuries including a collapsed lung and several broken ribs. His condition is improving but he remains unconscious at the Tallahassee Memorial Hospital in Florida.

Thankfully such severe injuries are rare but following the response to the accident the Equestrian Aid Foundation in the US has set up an emergency fund in Darren Chiacchia’s name. The Equestrian Aid Foundation is a non-profit organization. Its mission is to build a membership-based organization to assist everyone in the equestrian world suffering from life threatening illness, catastrophic accidents or injuries by providing direct financial support for their medical or other basic needs. Darren Chiaccia has been a member of the Board of Governors of the organisation and served on it’s Ambassador Committee.
