Cattistock field master Fiona Vigar remains critically ill following a hunting fall on 24 January.
Mrs Vigar, 43, was leading joint-master and huntsman Will Bryer’s horse along a road in Loders, Dorset, when her horse slipped. She fell, hitting her head on the newly tarmacked road.
Surgeons at Frenchay Hospital, Bristol, operated to remove a blood clot and she is being kept in a medically-induced coma.
Will Bryer said he hoped that Fiona — a former joint-master — would “muster that incredibly strong character that we all know and love to pull herself back to us”. She is, he added, “a mainstay of the hunt”.
