Madonna 'to blame' for horse fall

Madonna was to blame for the horse-riding accident that left her with a broken hand, a broken collar bone and three cracked ribs - because she uses horses as fashion accessories, according to author Camille Paglia.

The social critic claims she predicted the accident after she saw Madonna's Vogue magazine covershoot last month (AUG05), which showed her on the back of her horse, because she was "ostentatiously posing in riding habit and boots on a horse whose reins she is awkwardly and incorrectly holding".
