Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) revealed Tuesday he broke a rib in an unexpected equine encounter.
“Since everyone is asking, here’s the deal: On Sunday, I was kicked by a horse. Broke a rib. He didn’t like being bit by that horse fly, and my rib was collateral damage.”
Burchett added that he’d attended multiple events in Tennessee on Monday and Tuesday and that it is “going to take more than a broken rib to slow me down.”
“I sincerely appreciate everyone’s concern and prayers for a quick recovery,” he added.
Burchett concluded the post: “Pray for our country.”
The congressman’s daughter, Isabel, was hospitalized with broken ribs, a broken wrist and internal injuries following a horse riding accident in 2022.
