The actor said: "I ride the horses that can compete in equine skills, which is fast down and ends on a sliding stop.
And the horse that I owned, I came off."
"And she had a habit of going too far, like six inches to the side," he added.
"And I’m riding it.
And I’m ready.
And she goes [too fast and sent him flying]."
"I’m not a young stuntman anymore.
I started to roll but hit the dirt with my shoulder.
So, I wrecked my shoulder," he explained.
He had told the audience that he was scheduled to undergo a "new type of shoulder operation called a reverse something or other" on March 11.
Adding: "You put the ball in the socket and the socket in the thing, and you come out 10 hours later, and you’re pain-free.
So, that’s what I am meandering towards."
On March 12, he updated his Instagram followers about his shoulder surgery.
He also addressed rumors that his shoulder was "shattered," noting that it was a "routine procedure."
Adding: "I'm so well that tomorrow I'll be in Cleveland at a convention."
Last year, Shatner spoke out about tinnitus, a health condition that he’s faced since the 1990s.
A person with tinnitus can experience ringing or other noises in one or both ears, according to the Mayo Clinic.
The actor spoke out about living with tinnitus in a promotional video for the nonprofit Tinnitus Quest.
"My own journey with tinnitus started when I was filming a ‘Star Trek’ episode called 'Arena,' and I was too close to the special effects' explosion.
And the result was that I was left with permanent tinnitus," Shatner explained.
He continued: "And, over the years, I’ve had many ups and downs with my tinnitus, and I know from firsthand experience just how difficult it can get."
Shatner became a household name as Capt.
James T.
Kirk in the "Star Trek" franchise.
He also starred in countless other projects in his seven-decade career, including "T.J.
Hooker," "The Practice," "Boston Legal," "Miss Congeniality" and more.
