Charlotte Dujardin, a renowned UK Olympian in dressage, has issued an apology following the release of a video showing her excessively whipping a horse. The International Federation for Equestrian Sports (FEI) has provisionally suspended Dujardin, and she has been removed from the UK's roster for the upcoming Paris 2024 Olympics.
In her statement, Dujardin acknowledged the video's existence, expressing deep regret and sorrow for her actions. "What happened was completely out of character and does not reflect how I train my horses or coach my pupils. However, there is no excuse. I am deeply ashamed and should have set a better example in that moment," she said.
