“He’s resting comfortably and very aware and talking and fully conscious now,” said Dutton. “It’s just a case of sitting tight for a week or two and then moving back to Canada to start rehab. Everybody’s very optimistic about a full recovery, and nothing long term.”
Peter owns Maple Hill Farm in Dunham, Quebec.
