Dressage rider Janina Kletke, who was injured in an accident while evacuating horses from the Victoria bushfires earlier this month, has begun to speak.
The following was published on her Facebook page:
*** JANINA IS TALKING ***
On Thursday morning Janina had her tracheostomy removed which has allowed air to pass through her voice box. Fortunately she can speak and her first word was “PUPPIES”
Janina has an impairment on the left side of her body. With daily physio therapy she is now starting to move some of her limbs which is a fantastic achievement this early after such a major trauma.
The plan moving forward is for Janina to be relocated to a rehabilitation facility in Melbourne to continue intense neurological and physical therapy.

In the early hours of Monday March 4th Janina Kletke responded to a phone call asking if she could rescue 4 horses with her truck from a near burnt out property in Garfield North. After being escorted to the property by a CFA crew, Janina was involved in an accident whilst loading the 4th horse. As a result she sustained a head injury and had to be kept in the ICU in an induced coma.??Our thoughts are with Janina and her family, and we wish her a speedy recovery.
