Courtney Dye is scheduled to fly in an air ambulance to The Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation in W. Orange, N.J., today, March 25, according to Lendon Gray’s blog.
“Courtney is still technically in a coma, although she sometimes responds to commands to move and even smile. She is being put in a special chair to allow her to sit up for periods of time,” wrote Gray on Wednesday, March 24. “This is the beginning of a long road of rehab although no one can tell us how long or how difficult that road will be.”
Gray mentioned that the facility is open to having her dogs or a horse visit, but that in general, visitors will be restricted. Cards and notes may be sent to: 119 Pleasant Valley Way, West Orange, N.J. 07052, but please do not send flowers.

Dye’s family is extremely grateful for all of the support they have received during this time, and they have been keeping watch over Dye 24 hours a day.
Dye’s horses are still in work under the watchful eye of her long time assistant, Jenn Marchand. All of her owners have decided to keep the horses fit and ready for Dye’s return.
