Olympic eventer Liz Halliday, who was hospitalized after sustaining a head injury in a cross-country fall at the USEA American Eventing Championships on Aug. 29, has moved to a new rehabilitation facility. According to an update made by Halliday herself—the first update made by her rather than friends and family on her behalf—she has moved to the Centre for Neuro Skills in Dallas.
After being released from the University of Kentucky Medical Center in late September, where she underwent surgery to relieve pressure on her brain, Halliday moved to the Shirely Ryan AbilityLab in Chicago, where she spent six months.

“My voice is getting stronger all the time, and until I can talk to you all in a video, I’m writing to you with help from my family and friends,” Halliday posted. “In a normal week, I would be busy making final preparations with my horses to compete in the Land Rover Kentucky Three-Day Event. But as you know, my new normal is now focused on my recovery from a traumatic brain injury.
“No two recoveries from a TBI look the same, and I feel grateful for the progress I’ve made so far and know I will continue to make,” she continued.
At the Centre for Neuro Skills, Halliday will continue speech, occupational and physical therapy focused on getting her back in the saddle.

“I’m so grateful for all of the messages of love and support I continue to receive,” she wrote in her update. “Above all, I am grateful to my family and friends for their continued support, and that my dogs, Archie and Ella, were able to move to Dallas with me and are staying with friends nearby. I am living in my own apartment now at CNS with the support of a dedicated care team, and every day my life feels a bit more back to normal.”
