Hispanic Man Never Imagined His Beloved Horse Would Leave Him in a Hospital Bed; Family Shares Heartfelt Message

Kevin leads solidarity campaign for Sergio Muños

Jockey suffers brain injury

GoFundMe supports his recovery

The horse racing world has come together in solidarity to support Sergio Muños, a talented and beloved jockey who suffered a severe traumatic brain injury after a fall during a competition at Louisiana Downs on September 22, 2025.

Since then, Sergio has remained hospitalized in an intensive care unit, facing a long and complex recovery while his family struggles with mounting medical bills.

His friend and colleague Kevin decided to write on his behalf and launch a GoFundMe campaign to raise funds for medical care, rehabilitation therapy, and family support.

The initiative has touched the hearts of the equestrian community, which has poured in messages of encouragement, prayers, and donations to accompany the jockey through his difficult recovery process.

The accident occurred during one of the races at the Louisiana Downs racetrack, when Sergio lost his balance and fell violently to the ground, suffering a severe traumatic brain injury.

He was immediately transported to a nearby hospital, where he was admitted to the Neurological Intensive Care Unit (ICU).

Doctors reported that his condition will require an extended recovery with physical, cognitive, and speech therapies to restore the functions affected by the impact.

“Progress is measured in small victories,” Kevin wrote on the fundraiser page. “Every day is a new challenge, but also a chance to move a little further forward.”

Sergio remains hospitalized, surrounded by his family and a specialized medical team closely monitoring each step of his progress.

His family, who has been by his side from the beginning, faces an enormous emotional and financial burden.

“The road ahead is uncertain,” Kevin noted. “Rehabilitation will be long, but Sergio has a strong spirit and a community that stands behind him.”

The jockey, who has dedicated his life to horses and the sport, has earned the affection of colleagues and fans alike for his passion, discipline, and humility both on and off the track.

GoFundMe Campaign Aims to Cover Treatment Costs

Under the title “Let’s Support the Recovery of Sergio Muños,” Kevin created a GoFundMe page inviting friends, fans, and members of the horse racing industry to contribute.

In the campaign post, he explains that funds will be directed to three key areas: medical bills, specialized therapies, and family support.

Kevin emphasizes that every contribution — no matter how small — represents a message of hope for Sergio’s family.

The equestrian community has responded enthusiastically, sharing the campaign link across social media and offering logistical help wherever possible.

Faith, Hope, and Solidarity in His Recovery

“Your support is more than a donation; it’s a gesture of love and faith,” Kevin wrote in the campaign description.

The message has touched the hearts of dozens who have shared the jockey’s story online, adding prayers and words of encouragement.

“Sergio has dedicated his life to a sport we all love,” Kevin added. “Now it’s our turn to show him that same dedication in his most difficult moment.”

The organizers are hopeful that the donations will allow Sergio’s family to focus on what truly matters — his recovery.
