The Pulp Fiction actress was riding the horse during training when the thoroughbred horse got “spooked” and threw the actress off which resulted in her breaking several bones.
A representative for Thurman said in a statement: “Uma was in an equestrian accident. She was training on a young thoroughbred who got spooked. She was thrown and broke a few bones.”
Page Six quotes sources who reportedly saw the 46-year-old “walking gingerly” and being helped by her children into a restaurant while on holiday on the Caribbean island of St Barts. It is not known when or where the accident occurred.
Thurman has two children, a daughter Maya Ray and son Levon, with her ex-husband the actor Ethan Hawke. She also has a daughter, who was born in 2012, with her former partner Arpad Busson.
