NextImg:Burchett kicked by horse, breaks rib

Rep. Tim Burchett is on the mend after suffering a horse-related snafu.

The Tennessee Republican was “accidentally kicked by a horse” while working on his farm over the weekend, according to his office.

While the 60-year-old Congress member’s injuries include a broken rib and bruising, press secretary Will Garrett said Burchett isn’t holding his horses when it comes to his work schedule.

The lawmaker “hasn’t missed a beat,” Garrett said. 

“There have been no changes to his schedule,” he continued. “He spoke in Maury County last night and has a full slate of district events throughout the week.”

In 2022, Burchett’s young daughter was hospitalized after being injured on a horse.

“Count our blessings because she’s alive and that’s all we really care about,” Burchett said at the time.

“She’s a tough little girl — she’ll be back on that horse,” he added.
