Which supermodel once broke her back in a horse riding accident?

Angie Everhart once broke her back in a horse-riding accident at age 19. She underwent extensive physical therapy and had to learn to walk again before returning to her modeling career.

Everhart, born in 1969, became known for her striking red hair and work as a fashion model. She appeared in Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit Issue and became the first red-haired model to appear on the cover of Glamour magazine, helping establish her as a recognizable supermodel of the 1990s.

The injury is sometimes confused with other celebrity horse-riding accidents. Madonna, for example, suffered broken ribs, a collarbone and a hand in a 2005 fall, but she did not break her back. Georgina Bloomberg has also sustained back injuries while riding, yet the commonly cited supermodel answer to this trivia question is Angie Everhart.
