The actor said: “I ride horses that can compete in equine skills, that are fast on the ground and complete in the skid stop. I went down with the horse I had.”
“And he had a tendency to walk a long way, like six inches to the side,” he added. “And I ride it. And I’m ready. And he goes [too fast and sent him flying].”
“I’m not a young stuntman anymore. I started to roll but I hit the ground with my shoulder. I even broke my shoulder,” he explained.
He told the audience that he will have “a new type of shoulder surgery called reverse something or other” on March 11.
He adds: “You put the ball in the socket and the socket in the thing, and you come out 10 hours later, and you don’t hurt. So, that’s what I mean.”
On March 12, he updated his Instagram followers about his shoulder surgery.
He also addressed rumors that his shoulder was “broken,” saying it was “a normal process.”
He adds: “I am so well that tomorrow I will be in Cleveland for the district meeting.”

Last year, Shatner opened up about tinnitus, a medical condition he’s struggled with since the 1990s.
A person with tinnitus may experience ringing or other sounds in one or both ears, according to the Mayo Clinic.
The actor spoke about living with tinnitus in a promotional video for the non-profit Tinnitus Quest.
“My journey with tinnitus started when I was filming the movie ‘.Star Trek‘ an episode called ‘Arena,’ and I was very close to a special effects explosion’. And the result was that I was left with chronic tinnitus,” explained Shatner.
He added: “And, over the years, I’ve had a lot of ups and downs with my tinnitus, and I know firsthand how difficult it can be.”
Shatner became a household name as Captain James T. Kirk in the “Star Trek” franchise.
He has also starred in many other projects in his seventeen-year career, including “TJ Hooker,” “The Practice,” “Boston Legal,” “Miss Congeniality” and more.
