Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) is reportedly recovering after being “accidentally kicked by a horse” on his farm over the weekend, according to his office.
The 60-year-old lawmaker sustained a broken rib and some bruising but has not let the injury disrupt his duties.
“He hasn’t missed a beat,” said his press secretary, Will Garrett. “There have been no changes to his schedule. He spoke in Maury County last night and has a full slate of district events throughout the week.”
Burchett, known for his hands-on lifestyle and work ethic, also dealt with a similar scare in 2022 when his daughter was hospitalized after a horse-related incident. “Count our blessings because she’s alive, and that’s all we really care about,” he said at the time.
Despite the setback, Burchett continues to carry out his responsibilities without pause.
