William Fox-Pitt, who sustained a head injury in a cross-country fall while competing at the Le Lion d’Angers CCI** (France) on Oct. 17, is now recovering in Great Britain.
He flew on Nov. 9 after being treated in France since the fall, and he will continue rehabilitation from there.
“His recovery is likely to take time, but he is up and about and improving day by day,” said his wife Alice Fox-Pitt in a statement. “We are exceptionally grateful for the huge amount of support we have received.”

Nov. 17 Update: Fox-Pitt has now been discharged to continue his recovery from his home.
“It is fantastic to be back home; it feels like it has been a long time away from my family,” said William in a statement. “I would like to thank all the doctors in France from the team at Le Lion D’Angers to those who looked after me in the ICU in Angers. The rehab team in Poole General Hospital have been incredibly thorough.
“The team at home have been doing an amazing job keeping everything going but luckily everything is quiet as the horses are all on their end of season break. I am looking forward to making a full recovery over the winter,” he continued.
