A 21-year-old jockey who was seriously injured in a New Year’s Day race riding accident has been told her chances of regaining any feeling in her legs are “zero percent”.
Joree Scriver suffered lower limb paralysis when the horse she was riding fell during a six furlong claiming race at Sunland Park in New Mexico.
She was taken to hospital where she underwent surgery on six fractured vertebrae. She also sustained multiple rib fractures, punctured lung, broken nose and face fracture.
