Madonna Had a Horseback Riding Accident

She had an album named Hard Candy, and apparently, she fell to the hard ground too.

Last Saturday, Madonna was rushed to the hospital after falling from a horse at the Bridgehampton farm. Her publicist, Liz Rosenberg claimed the accident happened because the horse was startled by a paparazzi who jumped out of the bushes to photograph the singer.

The 50-year-old diva was visiting friends on Eastern Long Island for the weekend, and took some time to do horse back riding. But apparently the joyful time she took to do her hobby turned unlikely good.

Current boyfriend Jesus Luz and other guests watched Madonna thrown from the animal’s back. The 4 Minutes singer later reportedly suffered minor injuries and bruises. She was treated at a Southampton hospital and was released, but she still was being monitored by doctors.

Celebrity photographer Steven Klein was said as the photographer who startled the horse, as fellow photographer Thomas Hinton testified. On Sunday, Hinton said he received a tip Madonna was in the Hamptons and photographed her from a public road before and after the accident. He said he wasn’t there when she fell, and that the only photographer present was Klein.

This accident wasn’t Madonna’s first. In summer of 2005, she broke several bones in a horse-riding accident; cracking three ribs, breaking her collarbone and her hand while at Ashcombe, her country estate outside London.

Although it must be painful, but hopefully this won’t be Madonna’s last horse back riding. Get well soon, Madge!
