In a recent conversation withEntertainment Tonight, the restaurateur said she has reached her recovery goal afterbeing thrown from her horse in January. Vanderpump, 61, also noted that her injuries have healed enough to allow her a better range of wardrobe choices.
“I’m back in heels. That was my target for the opening,” she said, referencing the opening date of her new Las Vegas restaurant,Vanderpump à Paris.
“Miraculous recovery,” she added. “I had four fractures. I had a plate, five pins, and two screws — but I’m here and I’m walking.”
In January, Vanderpump wasthrown from her horse of six years while riding. She broke her leg in several places and underwent surgery to fix the fractures. At the time, her husband Ken Todd toldTMZVanderpumpmay never ride again.
“I think maybe that was her last ride,” he said of his wife, who is an avid animal lover. “I would never ride again. This is our horse, a gentle, gentle horse. Cabala horse — perfect, perfect. He was amazing. Something spooked him, and you never know when that’s gonna happen.”
“I was there. When I saw her thrown off, I couldn’t believe it,” he added. “I was in shock. I ran over there and she was just on the floor. And she knew that she’d broken her leg straight away.”

Vanderpump also referred to her new restaurant as “a playground” with “huge statements” that have elicited emotional responses from customers.
“It’s decadent, the food is very playful, the cocktail list is off the hook,” she shared. “It’s just so gorgeous in here — the lighting, everything you see… It’s just very, very special. People have come in here and said, ‘Oh, I started to cry.'”
