Pillen's office did not specify what injuries he sustained or how serious they were, but noted he was expected to remain in the hospital for several days.

Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen was hospitalized Sunday after being bucked off a new horse during a ride with family members in northeast Nebraska. His injuries were serious enough, though not disclosed, that he was transported “out of an abundance of caution” from Columbus Community Hospital to the Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha.
