Burchett considers himself fortunate that the injury was limited to just one rib and could have been much worse. He described the injury as &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-year-of-living-fearfully\/\" title=\"The Year of Living Fearfully\">collateral damage<\/a>&#8221; caused when the horse was trying to shake off a nearby fly. Thanks to <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >prompt medical care<\/a>, Burchett is doing great and has only missed a single event during his recovery-a child&#8217;s Eagle Scout ceremony, which he hopes to make up for with a pizza outing. Additionally, Burchett expressed support for former President Donald Trump&#8217;s decision to federalize the Metropolitan Police Department in Washington, D.C., criticizing the city&#8217;s leadership for being out of touch on crime issues.
