Friday was the most optimistic day in the recovery of injured eventer Liz Halliday.

The most significant moment of the day was after the Baugh family, came to visit and Liz waved goodbye to them as they were leaving,

She has been seeing all of the #LapforLiz photos and videos.

Liz at the Paris Olympics last month.

Liz’s team thanks all who are participating in the #LapforLiz . The Foxfire Eventing Team took their first lap Thursday at 7 p.m. Eastern. The team said your notes and pictures have truly helped give Liz the #horsepower she needs to get through this.

They explained they are sending “our horsepower energy to Liz for rapid and complete recovery. We will take a lap in honor of Liz Halliday during every ride from now until she has recovered (or maybe we’ll keep it going). During our lap, we will harness all of the horsepower energy from our equine partners to super-boost our prayers, hopes, and best wishes for her rapid and complete recovery.”

Liz’s friends would like to show Liz everyone’s #LapforLiz to give her much-needed “horsepower energy.” Tag Liz on social media and use the hashtags #LapforLiz and #KeepFightingLiz .

Liz, a member of the U.S. Olympic eventing team in Paris, was injured when her horse fell on cross-country during the American Eventing Championships. Her horse was fine, but she was operated on at the University of Kentucky Medical Center to ease pressure on her brain and continues to recover.
