Penny is presented in “The Big Bang Theory” as having an active and sporting lifestyle. Her father wanted a boy, so when he got Penny, he raised her just like he would a son. As a result, Penny is good with engines, enjoys sports, and once stole a horse while intoxicated in high school. In that particular regard, her real-life counterpart, Kaley Cuoco, is no different. Cuoco is well renowned for her love of horses.
However, the only problem with an active lifestyle is sometimes it leads to terrifying injuries. Cuoco experienced this during a horse-riding accident. Lorre and Cuoco reminisced about that specific incident in the book, saying how it almost led to her leg’s amputation. According to People Magazine, Cuoco fell from her horse in 2010 because the horse was startled by something, and while she was on the ground, the animal trod on her left leg.
Cuoco, thankfully, did not lose her leg. Nonetheless, the anxiety was valid and spread among the cast and crew. While Cuoco later remarked that the experience was still too new and horrific for her to relive fully, she was back on her feet in a matter of weeks. However, despite her injuries, she returned to work, but needed to employ a body double in circumstances when Penny needed to walk.
