Video Shows Repeated Blows to Horse

A video has emerged showing Olympic equestrian champion Charlotte Dujardin whipping a horse repeatedly. The incident has led to her withdrawal from the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.

Dujardin, who has won three gold, one silver, and two bronze medals in Olympic equestrian events for Britain, had been expected to compete in the 2024 Games. However, the video, which was posted on social media, has cast doubt on her future in the sport.
