CNN —British dressage star Charlotte Dujardin has been fined and suspended for a year after a video emerged of her repeatedly whipping a horse during training.
It showed Dujardin whipping a horse more than 20 times.
“I understand the responsibility that comes with my position in the sport, and I will forever aim to do better.
The 39-year-old could have become the most decorated British female Olympian of all time in Paris, surpassing cyclist Laura Kenny.
We believe this outcome reaffirms the FEI’s commitment to equine welfare and to its role as guardian of our equine partners.”
