(Newser) – Madonna was thrown from a horse in the Hamptons after camera-wielding paparazzi jumped from the bushes, spooking the animal, reports the New York Daily News. The longtime equestrian was rushed to the nearest hospital for treatment of her bruises and minor injuries. This is the second tumble for Madge, who famously broke three ribs, her hand, and her collarbone in a 2005 riding accident.

I agree that I hope he gets prosecuted and sued for damages. This easily could have been a serous accident. They really need to learn a lesson and think just a little about the safety.

I hope they prosecute the pap, for her sake and ours. No one needs to see a pic of her on a horse. Paps are out of control, causing car wrecks and accidents like this.

Whatever. Celebrities purposely sent out to be adored by millions, yet get upset that millions wish to see them. 'Madge' just paid $40M on a house worth only half as much, let her buy an estate with riding grounds and pack it full of security
