The Glasgow-born actor returned to the stage for a matinee performance on Saturday afternoon.
Speaking ahead of Saturday's show, Barrowman told BBC Scotland he was "pleased to be back" but was still not feeling 100%.
He added: "I just felt the horse jitter underneath me, then the back end lifted up and then the next thing I knew I was in the air. I landed hard in the middle of the stage.
"I got back on with the show, but the shooting pain just went through my legs and my back. I said to the audience "ladies and gentlemen, I have to stop the show, I need to be checked out".
"Then I went round the back and basically collapsed and I was put in a stretcher and strapped up. It was quite scary."
Barrowman's understudy - his nephew Greg Barrowman - stepped in to finish the show.
