Lisa Vanderpump is on the mend after being bucked off a horse last week.
The “Vanderpump Rules” star revealed on Instagram that she broke her leg in multiple places and injured her back in the horseback riding accident — but is maintaining her optimism despite the setback.
“Thank you for all the well wishes and beautiful flowers, I am doing much better after surgery!” Vanderpump, 61, captioned a series of photos of gorgeous bouquets.
“4 fractures in my leg and a badly bruised back, but I am on the road to recovery! I will be back in the saddle of life soon!”
These are the reality star’s first remarks since the unnamed equine suddenly reared up and threw her off his back. Vanderpump’s husband, Ken Todd, later told TMZ that it was unlikely that the Bravolebrity would ever ride again.
“I think maybe that was her last ride,” Todd, 76, told the outlet. “I wouldn’t let her ride again.”
Todd emphasized that the horse was previously “gentle,” “perfect” and “amazing” before noting that even the most experienced equestrians don’t know when an animal will get spooked.
“I was there,” he said. “When I saw her thrown off, I couldn’t believe it. I was in shock. I ran over there, and she was just on the floor, and she knew that she’d broken her leg straightaway.”
Todd also shared that his wife’s recovery would take eight to 10 weeks and she’ll then have to go to physical therapy.
As Bravo fans know, the former “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star has always had a passion for animals — specifically horses and dogs. She once said in a “Vanderpump Rules” confessional that she tried to make it to the horse stables at least three times a week.
