Washington, January 15 (ANI): 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 U.S.
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.
