Willie Keith

Postby madelyn » Sat Dec 13, 2014 8:49 pm

Willie Keith, long time exercise rider, son of trainer Carl Keith, was thrown from a horse today riding on a farm. He suffered massive brain injury and fractured skull. Latest note is that he is brain dead and waiting for the family to pull the plug. Prayers go out to Willie and his family.

God, please send your comfort to this man and his family.

Very sad. Willie died while still on life support. It's a tough way to remind everyone out there to Wear A Helmet!! His chest was crushed also - I don't know how much a vest would have helped but he did not have that on either.
