Actress Katherine Kelly Lang is recovering from surgery after sustaining a serious injury while horseback riding.

The Bold and the Beautiful star, 60, revealed in a series of Instagram videos and photos that she dislocated her ankle and foot on Mother's Day.

Sharing a video of herself and others riding horses on a trail surrounded by mountains, Lang wrote on Monday, "I hope you all had an amazing Mothers Day today. What did you do for Mothers Day? ?????? I started out on a beautiful ride yesterday with friends."

She added that she intended to ride for 40 miles as she prepares for a 50-mile horse race set for next month.

"It was a beautiful day! At around 16 miles I got off my horse to walk down a steep and very rocky trail to give her a break. At the bottom of the trail I tripped on a rock and my left foot took the pounding," Lang wrote alongside the carousel, which included a photo of her sitting on a gurney surrounded by medical workers, a picture of her foot propped up in a cast while in the hospital, and an image of her lying in a hospital bed with tubes.

She wrote that a bystander called for help as her friends "helped with my horse and my spirits."
