Madonna training for horse riding festival

Washington, Jan 15: Madonna has decided to chase her dressage dreams, and is training to become a top horse rider at the FTI Equestrian Festival at Wellington, Florida.

The ‘Material Girl’ hitmaker, who previously suffered three cracked ribs, a fractured collarbone and broken hand after a horse threw her in 2005, flew in esteemed British trainer Daisy Trayford to the US. Trayford described the Queen of Pop as a “dream pupil”, insisting that the singer displayed her determination and commitment on the pastures. "She`s very driven, listens to what you say and just wants to do it and improve,” Contactmusic quoted her as telling Britain`s Horse + Hound publication. “You can always get somewhere with someone like that. She`s a dream pupil. "When I started teaching her she hadn`t jumped at all and now she can jump a course of 1.05m. Jumping and hacking are her two favourite things,” she added. ANI
