Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) went to the hospital on Sunday with a broken rib after a horse kicked him in the chest, according to his office.

“While working on his farm over the weekend, Congressman Burchett was accidentally kicked by a horse. He suffered a broken rib and bruising but hasn’t missed a beat,” said Will Garrett, a spokesman for Burchett.

Burchett’s wife drove him to the hospital, where he was examined and discharged the same day. He has since maintained a normal schedule back in his Knoxville, Tennessee-based district, meeting constituents and party officials with the House on recess for August.

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

Sunday’s incident, which was not previously reported, is not Burchett’s first injury. In 2012, he broke his wrist in a motorcycle crash after his back tire blew out. At the time, Burchett was the mayor of Knox County.
