Healthy, healing vibes out to Tara. What a terrible injury. She has a very long and tough road ahead.

She had her surgery yesterday and still no feeling below the waist. That cannot be good. I don't know what they expected, though, beyond stabilizing her spine.

I've been very sad about this, I have seen Tara race many times as she is my favorite! DH has a slight jealous streak about it. When I started jumping, I found inspiration in Tara's abilities and her strength. She's always gracious at races and I believe that strenght and commitment she has will be helpful in her recovery.

Will definitely be praying for her, for her doctors, for her family, and for her circle of support.
I will be praying for her and checking back to that website and the fund they are setting up.

Wow, just saw this post & hadn't heard. I took a private mtb lesson w/Tara back in May and she was great. Am so sorry to hear this and will be thinking of her and her family.

Thank you for posting this
I was unaware of her crash
Gives me the chills also
All positive energy sent her way must help, surely
Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
"I will try again tomorrow".
