One of Our Young Horsewomen Needs Some Assistance
Victoria Shaw needs a ‘leg-up’ from the industry, and communities she has poured so much into. After an incident that took place at this years Scottsdale Horse Show, Victoria found herself with a number of persistent injuries that are severely limiting her from the work she loves so much. Due to her medical restrictions, and on-going physical therapy she is unable to resume any work until her physicians have released her, which could continue for months. These very unexpected consequences are something that put the equine business she dedicated her childhood planning, and her early years building in serious jeopardy.
The Blessings Of Our Community
On Wednesday April 17th, 2024 Cristi was involved in one of those totally unexpected, tragic accidents with her horse. As she went to mount, her horse spooked and Cristi was thrown into the arena wall, knocking her unconscious. She was airlifted to Harborview and admitted into the Neuro ICU for a traumatic brain injury. Cristi sustained bruising and bleeding around her brain, several large blood clots around her brain, a small blood clot inside her brain, a fractured skull, fractured ribs and fractures in her face. They put a hole in the top of her head to place a monitor that measures the pressure intracranial swelling. Her pressures have been difficult to stabilize so she is still intubated and sedated.
