Irish Olympic eventer Jonty Evans remains in a serious but stable condition following a fall during the Tattersalls International Horse Trials earlier this month.

Horse Sport Ireland had already confirmed that the 46-year-old suffered a "significant brain injury" after falling from Cooley Rorkes Drift during the cross-country phase of the CIC three-star competition in Co Meath on 3 June.

A Horse Sport Ireland statement today read: "Jonty remains in a stable but serious condition in Hospital.

"Jonty has now been moved from intensive care at the Beaumont Hospital to a high dependency ward in the Connolly Hospital, Blanchardstown, West Dublin.

"Unfortunately, there is no change to report in his condition from the most recent update. Jonty remains unconscious, with a very serious head injury.

"The family deeply appreciate all the care for Jonty from the Beaumont Hospital staff and the support and messages from all his family and friends.

"Further updates will be issued if there is a change in Jonty's condition."
