At the end of October 2017, Abby was at drill practice when the horse she was riding collided with another then flipped over and landed on her. Abby was airlifted to Blank Children’s Hospital with a brain bleed. She was in the hospital for four days and missed almost an entire month of school. Abby took about six months off from riding while her body healed.
