OlderMadonna Falls Off The Horse
Madonna was taken to a hospital on Saturday after falling off a horse at the home of photog pal Steven Klein in New York’s South Hampton.
“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,” her rep Liz Rosenberg said in a statement to Us Weekly. “Madonna will be having further tests and will continue to remain under observation by doctors.”
Earlier today, the pair was spotted leaving a Kabbalah Center in Manhattan.
Get well soon, Madge!
UPDATE: Madonna’s manager Guy Oseary adds, “Madonna’s accident today was caused by the paparazzi. They spooked the horse she was riding. These guys don’t know when to stop!!”

omg! i hope she’s ok.
freaking paps! what if she had a head concussion and died? she has children!
the paparazzi should have known that jumping out of the bushes and flashing lightbulbs in a horse’s face is going to frighten the poor animal
The same horse should be used to trample on the paparazzi!!!!
If only that horse would’ve ran over that pap when he jumped out and startled him.
startled? she probably freaked the horse out!
She is old already that why she should not take this kind of activity as well as other activities related to it
why does she keep on riding horses? last time, she fall on one too. thought madonna would have learn her lesson already. guess not. but hope she’ll get better. best wishes to M.
I love a good stolen shot as much as the next tabloid junkie but this kind of paparazzi behavior is repulsive and dangerous. She should sue!
The behavior of the paparazzi is absolutely irresponsible. I know a shot of Madonna means big bucks but they really acted thoughtlessly. I hope everything is ok and Madonna recovers soon. Get well soon and don’t get on a horse ever again!
omg! she fell from the horse? good thing she didn’t fell from bed.. lolz
………………………EVEN HORSES DO NO LIKE HER PERSON, folks!!
Paparazzi are so inconsiderate.
Horses are not stable…don’t scare them with photo flashes!
madge hope you get better. papparrazi need to know when to back down you could’ve had maddona seriously hurt
Who the **** jumps out in front of a horse?! Idiots.
I wish the horse would’ve trampled on the idiot! ********. Those guys are leeches. I hope M. feels better soon!
You people are idiots if you actually believe this story. What kind of paparazzi is going to use a short lens and hide in a bush, the suddenly jump out and take pictures of Madonna? Don’t you people realize that EVERY successful paparazzi uses LONG LENSES which require you to be a great distance away to even get a full-length photo? And in a situation like this one, photographing Madonna in the Hamptons while riding a horse on someone’s property, the lens will likely be at least a 600, which means any photographer around would be no less than 150+ feet away. And paparazzi don’t use flashes in situations like this either! The entire story is ridiculous.
the government is going to wait until a celebrity get kill by a paparazzi dumb action before they tighten up the law against these fools
@nyc paparazzo: you have the professional papa then you have the idiots who’s just trying to make a quick money
Didn’t this broad fall from a horse a couple of years back ( I seem to remember an arm injury)?
Throw me from the saddle once, shame on you, throw me twice…
seriously, she should sue.
I hope that Madonna is OK. The paparazzi should have more limits, this was very irresponsible, falling of a horse is a series matter hopefully she is in stable condition and this would not have any repercussion.
GET WELL MADONNA
Hahaha did granny break a hip, hope soooo:)
ps good job paps very good job
wow! her confessions tour was after her first fall from a horse, perhaps the next tour will have more horse stuff in it.
(the confessions tour intro and the first song and other stuff in that tour had to do with horses and her photoshoot by that Steven Klein)
Get well Madonna! We love you!
Some of you people are sick to wish permanent injury or death on someone you don’t even know. Like her or not, she’s a human being and she has three children.
Luckily her children were not the victims and her injuries don’t seem to be severe. Some of you really need to think before you spew your hatred.
get well soon M <3
Hate the paparazzis
lol #7 so you say that old people can’t ride ? What a joke..
Those paps will some day kill someone..
I’m not a fan of paps but #17 makes a good point on how they work. So far we’ve only heard from Madonna’s people and we all know they love to spin things to their client’s favour. Madonna has been in horse accident before, and the cause then we were told was that horse was startled. As far as Madonna’s concern it’s always somebody else’s fault except her own. For your old bones sake Madonna just ride ponies from now on.
oooh come on madge dont give me that!!!!!
the point is shes in need of attention, especially since she was denied about the lil mercy story!
you’re boring madge, and old, and kabbalist and you should let lourdes dress and hang out withever she likes!! get lost already!!!
@LJ: They already did…Lady Diana.
Hope She’ll Be Fine
Love Her…
oh,I feel sorry for Madge,but I hope she will be fine!!!!
omg!!! they dont know when to stop those IDIOTS!!!
I hate the paps, but don’t believe the story. Guess we’ll have to wait till we see the pics of Madonna falling off her horse. There has so be some, right?
@nyc paparazzo:
A horse will spook even at something far away, so who knows what kind of lens it was. Horses are just like that. I have been thrown off seemingly spontaneously, meaning I didn’t detect whatever spooked my horse in the first place. I don’t think the above is an actual photo from that incident anyway.
Did the paps not have their cameras with them? Where are the pictures?
I don’t like the woman, but something has got to be done about these papps! They are going to cause the death of someone. They are already responsible for the death of Princess Diana.
There Are Actually Some Photos

rAQUEL @ 04/19/2009 at 9:47 am I don’t like the woman, but something has got to be done about these papps! They are going to cause the death of someone. They are already responsible for the death of Princess Diana.
——————–
AGREE ! Don’t forget that Christopher Reeves was tetraplegic from falling from a horse and died prematurely because of all the drungs he was using to get well that has a toll on his heart.
-
Those paps should know there are limits not to cross. Some of these days a drama will occur and someone will die. they should be hold accountable of the accident they provok.
She should be wearing a helmet! What an idoit!
well why isnt she wearing a riding hat then maybe she wouldnt be as badly injured, idiot
@nyc paparazzo:
If you are so knowledgeable, if what you wrote is true, can you please tell me how come that all paproaches I’ve seen are always close to people, exploding their flashes into their prey’s faces, even in perfect daylight, or grabbing people’s clothes, or blocking cars, or scaring little children - although they have long lenses on their cameras and could keep their distance, like anyone with a sound mind would?
Oh, right, I get it, they’re not successful - and you are?
Liar.
Does she really dress up like that to ride horses??? All that make-up crap. She needs to wear a riding helmet too.. she’s too old to be so stupid.
@wtf:
that pic was taken during her interview w/David Letterman. She didn’t know the horses were gonna be there for her to ride after her first accident.
OOPS! She did have a helmet on.. my bad.. I am glad.. she’s not so stupid afterall.
I agree with nycpaparazzo
I live in NYC and see the paparzzi everywhere, including int he Hamptons. NEVER have I seen them hiding in bushes, jumpinh out. There lenses are massive.
Madonna and her people are lying sacks of **** to spread these lies-it’s all because everyone hates the paparazzi, yet WE are the ones who buy the magazines dying to see what photos they get
Madonna doesn’t know how to ride and fell off. That, or she is getting more plastic surgery and this is all another cover up
and a sidenote IF this was true….if there was a paparazzi there taking photos and startled the horse-how come there are no photos? These guys are pros at what they do and ALWAYS get the shot. We would have seen these photos by now IF there story is real
more LIES
@rAQUEL: The driver of “Princess” Diana was beyond drunk and speeding when they crashed. Have you ever considered that it may have actually been his own fault and not the photographers who were following behind? Unfortunately for everyone who hates paps, we don’t try to run people off the road when we follow behind them in our cars. We drive like they drive, which in 99% of cases means the follow is calm and mellow. It’s only when a driver takes it upon himself to run lights or — in the case of Princess Diana — get drunk before driving — do things like this happen. But having a car or motorbikes following behind you doesn’t cause car accidents. That’s ridiculous! The whole blame on the paparazzi for the Diana accident is just as absurd as this story from Madonna. Here’s a unique perspective — paparazzi are human beings. I’m a respectful, intelligent, compassionate person. And I’m a paparazzi, as well. I’m sorry that I don’t fit into your stereotypes.
@Nanea: Sure, I can explain. It depends entirely on the situation. When Britney Spears or Lindsay Lohan show up at some popular celebrity store on a major street in Los Angeles, what happens is 50 paparazzi show up and battle each other for a photo of her. They push each other, flash, use short lenses, etc. And it’s the usual Los Angeles chaos. But when there’s exclusive information about someone, such as Madonna in a private area of the Hamptons — where no paps typically go, by the way — it’s only going to be 1 or 2 photographers showing up, and they’re going to be professionals with long lenses. Why would someone with such valuable and exclusive information want to jump out of a bush to get a single photo when they could be 300+ feet away and get an entire set of pictures while going unnoticed? The entire story makes no sense. Paparazzi don’t think like that. When I first heard this story, I thought it was a joke. It’s mind-blowing that these idiots actually believe anything coming from this woman’s PR people. These are the same people who denied that she was getting a divorce, and called the rumors completely untrue. Ah, right, more lies!
Oh, no. Madonna get well. Hope you are okay, and be careful. Stupid paps.
well it does look like they was hiding in a bush lol stupid paps
I agree with #17 maybe she should take some lessons on how to ride
@nyc paparazzo:
Thanks for the explanation and insider info.
I hope Madonna is ok.
The photos in question were posted online EXCLUSIVELY by the NY Post today. It looks like there was only 1 paparazzi there — and he was a photographer for the NY Post, who used a long lens. You can see clearly from the photos that the photographer was very far away. This is just another example of Madonna spinning the news.
@nyc paparazzo:
Anytime something out of the ordinary is seen (such as a grown man hiding in some bushes or up a tree) a horse can be expected to look at it. They are a flight animal. This can mean the horse just jumps or steps sideways, or some will bolt - just depends on the horse. If the pap was getting a shot and suddenly moved, even if from a distance away, the horse will see it and might spook - just like YOU would jump if suddenly a stranger stepped out of the bushes in your backyard. There doesn’t need to be a flash and they didn’t need to be super close either.
LMAO. The horse probably saw what a freaky outfit his ‘mistress’ was wearing and bolted.
I agree with post #17. It’s highly unlikely that it was the paparrazi. What is likely is that she got tangled up in her boa and fell. She’s fallen before, indicating she’s not a good rider.
A BLACK HORSE IS ALWAYS SPOOKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HAHA
LOVE,
AFRICA
Hope she makes a good recovery.
Dont worry Madge we all love you.
It was still A-roids fault. he ruins everything!
I don’t know why we shouldn’t believe her. I don’t think she would invent that kind of things when there can be proofs of that. And by the way, to the “proud” nyc paparazzo, so you actually believe that all your little friends are honest ? You prefer accusing her and defending your colleague than giving her the benefice of doubt ?
And about those pictures that haven’t surfaced yet, maybe the guy (and those who would buy them) doesn’t want to be accused if her accident is more serious than that after all ! So the best way for him to avoid being jailed is to pretend he wasn’t there and not sell his pictures for now… Just think about that…
like michael k say the horse threw her off, since it didnt want pics of this old twat riding on it
grandma shouldnt be riding on horses
osteoporosis will get ur crusty ass madonna =p
MADONNA IS GETTING THE KARMA SHE EARNED FOR INSULTING JESUS CHRIST ALL THESE YEARS AND MAKING MILLIONS!
This phoney deranged ***** contaminated the minds of millions of young people the world over; she is demonic and deserves it!
MADONNA IS GETTING THE BAD KARMA SHE EARNED FOR INSULTING JESUS CHRIST ALL THESE YEARS!
Richly deserved….the horse had good sense to get her off his back!
Some people break their necks when they fall from a horse and die or are crippled for life…pity that….well, I won’t go there. LOL
Natasha Richardson fell while skiing and died soon after. Madonna, a piece of gristle according to her ex, hasn’t. Pity…..er, I mean about Richardson.
paps are a$$holes!
The horse prolly got scared when it saw Madge’s face so that’s why it reacted in that manner.
Seriously HOSPITAL i fell of a horse on concrete or whatever and I had bruises but i didn’t got to hospital
Sorry but and people are saying omg this is serious PEOPLE FALL OFF HORSES its a risk sport and i had a bruise all the way down my back because I fell on a pole (that was a jump) seriously anyway . (I STILL didn’t go to the hospital)also TESTS OMG OVER THE TOP MUCH
I love madonna I really do BUT REALLY. JUST BECAUSE SHE FELL OFF A HORSE AND SHE’S A CELEB DOESN’T MEAN SHE GETS TO GO TO HOSPITAL
