Sondra Burnett Injured In Horse-Back Riding Accident

CABOT, Arkansas - Sondra Burnett, one of Southern Gospel's most beloved female soloists and comediennes, was recently injured in a horse-back riding accident.

Sondra Burnett explained, "To many of you this may come as a great surprise, but I like to ride horses with my daughter, and we have three horses right now. The other day I was riding, and my mare decided she wanted to stand up on her back legs. I do remember thinking that these kinds of things never end well! Long story short, I pulled my 1,100 lb. horse down on top of me. After we fell, she rolled off on my left leg."

Sondra continued, "I know what you're thinking! What hospital are you in? Well I’m here to tell you that my God is a great God! Let me tell you what He did for me. Not only did I not break a single bone, but I was able to travel that same night to be able to minister in two concerts the following day! I had minimal pain and was able to testify to the power of our God!”

However, due to the accident, Sondra has a bulging disc and requires a couple weeks of physical therapy. Burnett will not be able to appear at the National Quartet Convention like originally planned.

"I thank the Lord that the incident wasn't worse than it turned out to be," said Sondra. "I appreciate everyone's prayers for me, as well as my poor husband. I'm going be milking this for all it's worth!"
