  • Three-time Olympic dressage gold medallist Charlotte Dujardin was today banned for a year following a horse-whipping controversy that led to her withdrawal from the Paris Games. The British rider was provisionally suspended by governing body the International Federation for Equestrian Sports just days before the start of the 2024 Olympics after the FEI received a video showing her repeatedly striking a horse on its legs.

Olympic dressage star Charlotte Dujardin has been handed a one-year ban from competition after a video surfaced showing her whipping her horse, Valegro, during a training session. The incident, which took place in 2017, was captured on video by animal rights activists and led to widespread condemnation. The British Equestrian Federation (BEF) and the International Equestrian Federation (FEI) reviewed the footage and concluded that Dujardin's actions violated their strict animal welfare policies. Despite her illustrious career, including multiple Olympic gold medals, Dujardin accepted the ban, expressing regret for her actions and stating her commitment to the welfare of her horses. The ban will prevent her from participating in any FEI-sanctioned events until the end of 2024.
