Georgina Bloomberg, the horse-riding daughter of Mayor Bloomberg, was seriously hurt this weekend after falling during an equestrian jumping event in Syracuse. The 27-year-old suffered a concussion and fractured her spine when her saddle slipped and she fell off the horse she was riding, Radio City, on Friday night. "Despite the injury, she is resting comfortably. She's going to have a full medical evaluation (Monday.) We'll know more then," her equestrian spokesman Kenneth Kraus told reporters.
Georgina, who was reportedly dressed in a witch outfit for the costumed ride at the Syracuse Invitational Sporthorse Tournamen, initially got up after the accident, and initially refused medical attention. But she woke up in pain on Saturday, and was taken to the hospital. She has previously broken her back, her collarbone, two wrists and an ankle, and suffered at least three concussions. "The mayor, of course, is very concerned, like any father would be," said mayoral spokesman Stu Loeser.
