Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen was transported to the hospital on Sunday after being bucked off a horse, according to a statement from his office. The incident happened when the Republican leader was riding on horseback with family members.

Pillen's office said that the horse was new and that he sustained injuries, but did not elaborate further. "The Governor is alert and is in continuous touch with his team," his office said in the statement.

Pillen was initially transported to Columbus Community Hospital before being sent to the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha "out of an abundance of caution," his office said.

The governor is expected to remain in the hospital "for several days," according to his office.
