Scott making good progress

Mornington trainer Brett Scott is conscious and talking as he recovers from being kicked in the head by a horse last Wednesday.

Scott’s wife Kylie said the popular ex-pat Kiwi has no memory of the incident, but he has made positive progress easing out of an induced coma.

“We went in and saw him last night, he’s been moved into a ward,” Kylie Scott told RSN927.

“He is conscious and answering questions.

“I sat down and asked him if he knew what had happened and he said no, and I told him he’d been kicked in the head by a horse.

“All he wanted was a cup of tea. He got a little bit agitated and wanted to get out of the bed, but we settled him down.

“Just seeing him awake was amazing and knowing that he was conversing with me – even though it was gibberish – but he was still talking to me, it was an amazing feeling.”

Scott sustained a small bleed on the brain in addition to facial injuries which required surgery.
