Portugal refuses Madonna's request to bring horse inside palace to film her new music video "Indian Summer"

Singer Madonna was shut down by the mayor of an historic Portuguese town after she demanded to bring a thoroughbred horse into a 19th century palace to film her new video.

Madonna, was seen filming a video for her song “Indian Summer” in the Quinta Nova de Assunção palace near Sintra. But locals told her to rein it in when she insisted on being filmed lying next to the horse inside the atrium of the romantic property, which features delicate tile work, moldings and murals.

The mayor of Sintra refused to pony up to her demands, banning the horse because the wooden floors and beams of the 1860 palace were not strong enough to support its weight, and the animal could damage the building.
