[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not keen on watching after seeing the GB champ whacking a horse with a whip. She had to withdraw from the team before the start of the games in disgrace.[/quote] https://www.theguardian.com/sport/article/2024/jul/24/dressage-is-in-trouble-where-is-the-line-between-horse-abuse-and-training[/quote] Yes - it was a horrible video. She has been disciplined and it will affect her career for ever, if she even has one once her suspension ends. Many of the riders featured are amazing horse people and true partners with their horses. You don't stop watching swimming because some swimmers have been doped up, do you? Or gymnastics even though the coaches and trainers in that sport have abused people for years? [/quote]
