Isabel Tompsett - Amateur Jockey/vet

[amage]

Seriously injured this evening in a fall in the Ladies Race at Fakenham. She has been brought to hospital reportedly unconcious with severe head injuries

I watched this live and her fall was just awful - I have everything crossed that she makes a full recovery and gets well soon.

 

[Laura_Grey]

Oh my god!! Only yesterday I was in the changing room with her laughing and joking. She had a fab day with 1 winner and 2 placed horses. Fingers crossed that it isn't too serious and she makes a quick recovery.

According to the Racing Post she was unconcious but breathing leaving the track but David Thompson the trainer who was with her till she left the track is quoted as saying they apeared to resuscitate her twice.

Very worrying, but it is amazing what the medics can do nowadays, hope she gets better soon, not religious but will send a prayer just in case.

How awful. I do hope she recovers and will keep my fingers and toes crossed as I'm not religious. Thought to her friends and family at this awful time

It looks like she might have a long fight ahead:

All of my thoughts and prayers to her and her family.

 

[JoG]

AFAIK - she will be on life support as she will be sedated/anaethetised to help with brain recovery

wishing her all the very best, thoughts to all her family, friends and connections

 

[NR99]

Positive vibes for Isabel, and thoughts with her family at this difficult time. Wishing her a speedy recovery x

 

[Alec Swan]

Positive news!! Early days, of course, but our local TV news channel has just given an update, to the effect that whilst Isabel remains under sedation, but she is making progress. Brilliant!!

Alec.

 

[Mrs B]

That is good to hear! Thanks for letting us know that, Alec.

Keep it up, Isabel!!

 

[millhouse]

I understand she has been moved to Addenbrookes. Keep fighting Isabel.

My daughter texted me this morning to tell me about Isabel's fall. This is ever mothers nightmare even though we accept the dangers of it might happening one day. I spoke to her mother this morning who is staying by Isabels bedside. She is very touched by the consern and offers of assistance from so many people. She especially wanted to thank the Injured Jockey's fund who have put her up in Cambridge so she can be near to hospital. Isabel is one of the most generous, lovable and toughest cookies Ive had the pleasure to meet and we're praying and hoping she makes a full recovery. Common Isabel, if nothing else, do it for the Hedgemonkey!

 

[Alec Swan]

What a worthwhile charity the IJF are. It isn't just the riders who they support, but the immediate family, and I'd bet that they didn't need to be asked, either.

I'm going to google them, make a donation, and I'd encourage those who feel able, to follow suit.

Thanks for the post, A_L.

Alec.
