Charlotte Dujardin whips horse more than 20 times in video shared with the Guardian

Video has emerged of one of Team GB’s biggest stars, Charlotte Dujardin, whipping a horse more than 20 times in one minute when she was conducting a coaching session to a young rider in a private stable four years ago.

The 39-year-old, who won six dressage Olympic medals in London, Rio and Tokyo, has been banned from the Paris Olympics over allegations that she whipped a horse.

Who is the evil one filming and laughing?! She should be charged, too!

[vikkihogg]

This is not the first and only time she’s done this … it’s merely the first time it’s been exposed 😡

[charlieb]

Absolutely disgusting, what makes this worst is the bloke filming this is laughing. People are horrible creatures

[blairrobertson]

Had to stop watching. She abused that horse as easily as she tied her shoes. She should be banned from the sport and charges should be brought against her.

[Harlow_fantastic]

It is absolutely disgusting to see a British top medallist do this to a horse . I just watched the video it is absolutely shocking i would never expected that. I am really disappointed to see that she is abusing.

[Mikeoxmells-grimm]

Doesn’t look like the fist time and who’s that filming and laughing? Total disgrace and she should’ve investigated to see how she trained her other horses and be stripped from her medals,

[aventurinezx]

This is disgraceful, but the fact that the person filming it can be heard laughing makes me feel sick 😢

[hillbillymal]

She needs banning from ever having anything to do with horses EVER again, absolutely disgusting and what makes it worse if it could get worse is that if the horse flipped out the rider could of been seriously injured

[davidm]

Well that is what she will be known for now. Do we believe this is "Completely out of character". This looks like a normal practice to me.

[FedericaPiovesan]

It s a shame . This person has to be banned from all competition and she is not supposed to be allowed to keep any horse for the rest of his life.

[BobHolloway-xb]

If this is acceptable behaviour within this industry. This industry should be ashamed

[stagename]

This is NOT OK! I’m a professional trainer and it’s absolutely disgusting to watch! Especially knowing how absolutely lovely that poor horse was to not even try to kick out at her. No wonder these people break down and ruin horses regularly

Go to any high level animal sports and you would be devastated at how the animals are treated. All for a round of applause, to win money, to draw a crowd or please an audience. It needs to be stopped.

This video is 4 years old!
how many horses had to suffer this torture in all the years before and after ?
This person should be stripped of all their medals.
And be sentenced to prison.

[Baconeggandcheese]

The worst part is the lady who seems to be holding the camera is laughing. This is absolutely disgusting.

[spaceinvador]

Horribel person!!!! How can she even be allowed to be around horses, also the person laughing just as low empathetic!!!

[JohnSmith-xfsd]

Another sick video, all her so called medals should be withdrawn, . And should be banned from keeping any animals for life

[lexikj]

Its horrible how a top rider can be so abusive

[kingscross]

She should be charged with animal cruelty and sent to prison

[harrykey]

She is whipping.
The rider is happy.
Someone is laughing.
I believe that we have seen how all horses are "trained" in dressage.
Nobody gets caught first offense.
