The 42-year-old intruder was taken to Cowra Hospital, but was later airlifted to a Sydney hospital in a serious but stable condition.
The man's 59-year-old accomplice fled the scene but was arrested later at a nearby hotel that morning.
He's been charged and will face court today.
It's unclear whether the home owner will be charged by police, and it's not known if he knew the men that broke into his home.
