Lisa was hospitalized following the incident, which occurred while she was riding a horse at The Paddock Riding Club in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles, according to TMZ.
The reality TV star's horse reared up and bucked her off in the incident, a source told the outlet.
The reality star's body careened over the horse's head and she landed directly on her back, an eyewitness told TMZ.

'I wish her a speedy recovery so the two can ride again soon,' Vanderpump's publicist Phil Lobel told Dailymail.com in a statement Sunday.
Lobel said that the horse Vanderpump was riding in the incident is named Prince Tardon, and that she acquired the stallion 'about 7 years ago' after seeing the horse at the show Cavalia in Orange County, California.
'She has owned and ridden horses her entire life and the producers gave her a tour of the stables at the show, and introduced her to Tardon, a horse they were about to retire,' Lobel said.

Lobel said that 'riding is one of constant joys in [Vanderpump's] life,' and that Prince Tardon 'even understands Lisa's commands in French,' adding, 'It's a mutual admiration.'
However, Lisa's husband Ken Todd told TMZ last Wednesday that the television personality's riding days were most likely over.
The 76-year-old restauranteur told the media outlet: 'I think maybe that was her last ride.
He added, 'I wouldn't let her ride again.'

Todd also described how he had witnessed the terrifying incident in person.
'I was there,' he told TMZ. 'When I saw her thrown off, I couldn't believe it. I was in shock. I ran over there, and she was just on the floor, and she knew that she'd broken her leg straightaway.'
He explained that the horse was a 'gentle horse', a 'Cavalia horse', and 'perfect', adding 'he was amazing.'
'Something spooked him, ' Todd said. 'And you never know when that could happen again.'
At the time of the interview, Lisa was undergoing surgery in the hospital. Todd said that her leg was broken in three places and the recovery process would take about eight to ten weeks.
