Douglas to have surgery following spill

[Habersham000]

Get well Rene!!! Arlington just isn't Arlington without Rene

Saw this on another forum:

E. T. Baird will be picking up all Douglas's mounts and donating the money back to Douglas and his family per HRTV.

Classy move if that is true.

Very Classy! Man, I hope that since he did have some feeling in his legs after that he will walk agian. Get well Rene!

He IS Arlington and Chicago racing to me. I am hoping against hope he will fully recover.

Thoughts and prayers go out to Rene and his family. Hope things get better.

And I'll also add that is a real classy move on the part of E.T. Baird.

Rene is a good rider and I hope he comes back.

The article also says that the horse seemed to break its back also. I hope the horse will recover as well

no, it's not. but it's not over yet. ten days to two weeks before they know much, so i'm keeping my fingers crossed for him.

Don't think he's coming back to ride. Hope whatever percentage chance he has (to use his lower body) works out his way.

I feel so terrible for Rene. Definitely hoping the next 10-14 days bring good news. Remember that NFL player a couple years ago that everybody thought was gonna be paralyzed from the neck down? He's walking around today. I bet if there's the slightest chance, Rene will make it happen. Way to go E. T. and we're praying for you Rene.

For anybody who can bear to watch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emEh3ChIt74 It's about 1:43 into it. It happens so quick and the camera just flies along so you don't even see the horse finally come to a stop as it were. She's still in the process of landing from the flip.

Sad news indeed.

Prayers for Rene , and all of his family.

Prayers to him and his family.....
