Madonna Injured While Horseback Riding

Posted Apr 18th 2009 10:17PM by TMZ Staff

MadonnaMadonna fell off her horse while horseback riding in the Hamptons this afternoon and was taken to a local hospital.

The Material Mom's injuries were not considered serious, the NY Post is reporting, but she was taken to the hospital for precautionary reasons.

Madonna was at the home of photographer Steven Klein at the time, according to the paper. She was reportedly wearing full riding gear, including a helmet, when she fell.

Back in 2005, Madonna fell while riding in London on her birthday -- she suffered several broken bones.

UPDATE -- Madonna's camp blames the whole incident on a paparazzo. Her rep released a statement that says, "Madonna who was thrown off a horse earlier today has just been released from Southampton Hospital with minor injuries and bruises ... 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."

6. I know that when you fall off the horse you're supposed to get back on, but what if horses just don't seem to like you? Maybe it's a sign, Madge....

13. Good thing this woman was denied a new pet...er, I mean child to adopt. It's all just a game to her. Here she is now a single mom, and she risks her life horsing around. She needs to grow up. Look in the mirror, Madge...you are a dried up crone...

15. as someone who rides and train horses i will say that there is an occasional (yet rare) spill off your mount. however, this should tell people that yoga pilates and all the working out madonna does, does NOT make you a good horsewoman. for as strong as her legs are, she can't manage to handle the quirks and personalities of her/ the horse. happy to know she went to hospital in light of recent events. a possible head injury should be tended to. madge, get off the wanna be equestrian and stick to spinning or the pole!
