Mark Wahlberg is wary of his daughter participating in 'most dangerous' sport after injury

Mark Wahlberg has called horse riding a "dangerous sport" after his daughter was injured during an equestrian competition.

His 15-year-old daughter Grace was rushed to the hospital earlier this month with a broken collarbone while competing in an equestrian competition and “The Departed” star admits he was shocked by the risk involved.

Mark gave an update on her condition on “Today” this week, saying, "She's good. She's just angry that she's not allowed to be back on the horse yet. She does have to take the time to recover. She broke her collarbone. She was rushed off to the hospital in an ambulance.”

"[Horse riding is] the most dangerous, nerve-wracking sport that I've ever watched and witnessed. But she loves it,” he added.

The actor who shares four children with wife Rhea Durham--Ella, 22, Michael, 19, and Brendan, 17--praised his youngest child for being "so dedicated" to her equestrian endeavors.

"She has the discipline at 15 that it took me into my 40s to get. You think I get up early and do things to prepare? I mean, she's a machine,” he said. "She was just worried that we would be too concerned because of the dangers that we wouldn't let her ride again, but she's passionate about it so we have to let her pursue that."

Wahlberg had previously thanked everybody who had wished Grace a speedy recovery after the incident.

The “Boogie Nights” star said, "It's very, very scary, and I thank everybody for their support and well wishes."
