Madonna banned from horse riding while on tour
Madonna will not be able to ride horses while she is on tour as her insurance policy will not allow it.
The pop superstar fell off in April this year while riding in the Hamptons, New York, and injured her back after her horse was reportedly spooked by paparazzi.
Later it was revealed that the statement made by the singer’s publicist contradicted that of the police report and Madonna did not report the cause of the accident as paparazzi.
She reportedly recently told US talk show host David Letterman she hadn’t ridden since the accident and that her insurance company wouldn’t not allow her to ride while she’s touring.
