Angland remains in the Prince of Wales Hospital in Hong Kong after falling from a horse at Sha Tin on Sunday night.
Erin Angland, Tye’s wife, issued a statement on Friday thanking everyone for their support but also requesting privacy at this tough time.
“Firstly we would like to thank everyone for their concern and messages of support. We are issuing this release so that there are no misconceptions on Tye’s condition,” Erin said.
“As you are aware Tye had a fall at Sha Tin, Hong Kong on Sunday 25 November following which he remained conscious throughout. He remains in the intensive care unit in a serious but stable condition at The Prince of Wales Hospital, Hong Kong.
“Whilst the full extent of his injuries are still unknown, we are thankfully able to report there has been no neurological damage.
“We ask for privacy, respect and patience during this time and will be forthcoming with information as we receive it. Tye’s well-being is paramount and rest is his first priority.”
Erin said it was obviously a difficult time for their family.
“We have not told our three young children of Tye’s condition and respectfully ask that they be kept unaware of what has happened,” she said.
“We have a long and difficult road ahead but what I do know is that Tye is a very strong and determined person and we will fight this together as a family.”
Angland, 29, was returned to Hong Kong for a one-off meeting to help out with a jockey shortage.
He returned home earlier this year to win the Wagga Gold Cup aboard Life Less Ordinary.
