I Never Realised The Olympics Is This Year, Sometime.

I've watched the other video and I came to much the same conclusion as Foxie. It's entirely inappropriate use of the lunge whip and there is some force demonstrated early on. But it's a poor video and it's hard to see if there is much contact with the horse or not.

I can't quite work out what she was trying to achieve, TBH.

I still wait for the FEI decision.

Why would she admit it and apologise if it's not her?

Nothing hard to see in the footage of her kicking and slapping a horse.

The video of CDJ that has just been posted, I don't think that's her in the video. I might be wrong of course, but I'm pretty sure I've seen that video before with someone else accused of cruelty.

You're doing well to be able to open it! All I got was something incomprehensible...

I'd like to be able to see the video, thanks. Especially after Foxie's and merlot's comments about it.

Perhaps someone could post a link that works.

There are two different videos, the first is of CDJ and the second is not.

The earlier video is her - the link which was posted just recently not.

Oops sorry.

My recent comments were about a further video that has been posted by RosiesMaw not the one about the misuse of the lungeing whip which is the reason for Charlotte Dujardin being suspended and for which she has admitted her behaviour.

Please don’t confuse the two?

I worry just how widespread this cruelty is.

I don’t suppose for one minute that this woman is the only person in the horse world to abuse the animals. I wonder how widespread it is?
If this is what happens in view of observers I dread to think what goes on behind closed doors ☹️

If found guilty by the authorities she should have a life ban and be stripped of her Olympic medals.
It might be a warning to the the rest of the community.

She should be stripped of her medals, disgusting cruel woman.

If you strip her of her medals do you then take away medals from all the athletes who used performance enhancing drugs?
I really don't know what to think on this, but thank you to those of you who have knowledge and are willing to share on here.

That already happens, if proved. And athletes who finished behind them are all moved up a place, and given new medals.

I heard Sharron Davis, the swimmer, say that she knew drugs were involved in her time, and that she would have undoubtedly beaten the Eastern European (??) who took first place from her. At least it wouldn't happen now. So perhaps the same kind of stringent regulations need to be implemented across other sports too.

And who’s to know whether the person then given the medal didn’t behave even worse. Imo she should only be stripped of her medals if someone can prove that the horses she won the medals on were treated badly.

Throw the book at her.
Animal abusers should not be representing us.

Moving on.

There are actually 47 sports in the Olympics! Something for everyone (even me) perhaps?

Would that be break dancing Urms? 😂

Stop making excuses for her. She’s admitted it and it’s unlikely to have only been the once. Animals who have no choice should not be in the olympics.

Celine Dion is performing the opening ceremony! Should be good.

Who's making excuses for her? As far as I can see, everyone has condemned her actions. Would you ban horse riding altogether then?

Ooh Celina Dion! Fantastic news especially with her serious health issue.

Lots of information here.
