Madonna hospitalised after horse-riding accident
Sunday, 19 April 2009
The 50-year-old pop icon has been hospitalised after falling from a horse while riding in New York on Saturday - her second horse-riding accident in four years.
Madonna received 'minor injuries and bruises' during the accident which occurred while she was riding at the Hamptons estate of celebrity photographer Steven Klein on Saturday.
Her publicist Liz Rosenberg blamed the paparazzi for the accident, saying she was thrown off the horse after it had become startled by photographers who jumped out of some bushes.
'Madonna who was thrown off a horse earlier today has just been released from Southampton Hospital with minor injuries and bruises,' Ms Rosenberg said in a statement released on Saturday. 'The accident occurred when the horse Madonna was riding was startled by paparazzi who jumped out of the bushes to photograph the singer who was visiting friends on Eastern Long Island over the weekend. Madonna will be having further tests and continues to remain under observation by doctors.'

Madonna, the world needs you to be at your peak. No off days allowed where the paparazzi are concerned:) Get better soon. Your biggest Irish fan. Every experience happens for a reason and all I can take from this is that the paparazzi should give you some Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone time and NO public intervention that could have potentially have done serious damage. They should observe certain boundaries. Ireland loves you xxx Go n-eirí an bóthar leat

Madonna,
You are wonderful and always hard at work at usual! I hope you recover quickly as you are strong and healthy. Maybe you should consider not riding a horse anymore! This is the second time something like this has happened. Maybe equestrian sports are not for you!
