 Event rider Laine Ashker was severely injured in a fall on cross-country on Saturday, April 26th at Rolex 3-Day Event in Lexington, Kentucky. She was airlifted to a nearby ICU where she is receiving the finest medical care available. Though she suffered extensive injuries, she is making steady improvement on her long road to recovery. Her family keeps vigil at her bedside.
In coordination with Laine's family, the Equestrian Aid Foundation is pleased to state that we have set up a designated fund on her behalf. Her road to recovery and rehabilitation will be long and extensive, so we are reaching out to our fellow equestrians to help support Laine in her time of need. You can click on our secure link below or checks and well-wishes can be sent to the EQUESTRIAN AID FOUNDATION, c/o Janise Gray, 228 Phillips Terrace, Union, NJ 07083. Please indicate Laine's name in the memo section of your check. We will forward well-wishes to Laine and her family. For updates and more information, please go to www.laineashkereventing.com or www.crowsearfarm.com.
Laine is an Olympic hopeful who began riding when she was two years old. She was a successful member of U.S. Pony Club where she began competing in eventing. She was awarded multiple Silver and Bronze medals in the Junior
Olympics.
Thank you for your support to the Ride for Hope and to Laine. Please keep Laine and her family in your thoughts and prayers.

 A THANK YOU TO ALL OUR SUPPORTERS
Your thoughts and prayers obviously worked! Darren's recovery and rehabilitation has been truly incredible! All of us at the Equestrian Aid Foundation wish to thank you for your overwhelming and extremely generous response to Darren's designated fund. As Darren has now returned to riding, we are closing down his designated fund. However, we are pleased to state that due to the continued generosity of artist Alan James Robinson and Dr. Tim Holekamp, owner of Windfall, the limited edition giclee print of Windfall is still available for purchase with all proceeds going to our general fund. Sandy and Tom Mercier owners of Bopi Printing, creators of the "Kick-On" poster are pleased to be able to help in any way they can. Therefore proceeds from the sale of these posters will go to our General Fund as well. Please click on the secure links below to make your purchases.
Thank you so much for your generosity to the Ride for Hope, Team Chiacchia and the numerous injured and ill equestrians who still need your support!
