Horse Wreck

Heard an interesting term today... Had the inspector come by today for annual termite inspection. Lousy day to do so, but anyway, we were talking and he mentioned a few years back he got in a "horse wreck". A horse "throwed" him and he got all busted up, with broken ribs, collarbone, punctured lung. He's ok, just had to rest as there's not a lot can be done for those injuries. But he got in a "horse wreck". Must be a Texas thing, but its the first time I heard that one.
