The video begins with a warning: “Some viewers may find the following footage distressing.” Then there is the sound: the whoosh and crack of a whip.
It starts, and doesn’t stop. Team GB’s former dressage champion, Charlotte Dujardin – a three-time gold medallist – is shown in a riding hall, shadowing a horse and rider on foot as a third person films the scene. With a long whip, she strikes the animal upwards of 20 times in one minute.
