Reality star Lisa Vanderpump was out riding her horse at The Paddock in Los Angeles when the animal got spooked and sent The Real Housewife skyrocketing through the air. Vanderpump landed hard, breaking her leg in three places and requiring surgery.
The 61-year-old Brit has owned her horse, HRH Prince Tardon, a grey, for six years, and the spook sounds as though it came out of the blue, as spooks so often do.
Vanderpump’s love of horses, dogs, and animals in general is well documented. In her other television series Vanderpump Rules, which aired its ninth season in September 2021, she is often seen with her miniature ponies and various dogs. She is also a staunch animal rights advocate and launched Vanderpump Dogs in 2016, a non-profit organization dedicated to ending the horrific dog meat trade in China and promoting the “adopt don’t shop” policy of animal rescue groups everywhere.
