Disgraced British Olympian Charlotte Dujardin continuously whipped a horse during a training session four years ago in a stunning video, which led to three-time Gold medalist’s shocking withdrawal from the 2024 Olympics in Paris on Tuesday.
The chilling video displays Dujardin repeatedly whipping the horse as it walked around a dirt training area, with the horse not reacting well to the blows.
In one particularly stomach-churning moment, the horse appears to be pulling away from Dujardin in fear while she approaches with the whip before eventually hitting the horse.
The Federation Equestre Internationale (FEI) announced Tuesday it received a video “depicting Ms. Dujardin engaging in conduct contrary to the principles of horse welfare.”
A lawyer filed the video for a complaint, with the incident happening at a private stable, per the statement.
The FEI has since began an investigation, and Dujardin confirmed her identity to the organization and “acknowledged that her conduct was inappropriate.”
She received a provisional suspension from the FEI and the British Equestrian and British Dressage imposed the same punishment, which bans her from both nationals and international events.
Dujardin apologized for her actions on Instagram while announcing her withdrawal.
“A video has emerged from four years ago which shows me making an error of judgment during a coaching session,” Dujardin said in a statement.
“What happened was completely out of character and does not reflect how I train horses or coach my pupils, however there is no excuse. I am deeply ashamed hnd should have set a better example in that moment.
“I am sincerely sorry for my actions and devastated that I have let everyone down, including Team GB, fans and sponsors.
“I will cooperate fully with the FEI, British Equestrian Federation and British Dressage during their investigations, and will not be commenting further until the process is complete.”
British Dressage chief executive Jason Brautigam said the complaint included “historical allegations” in the statement announcing the investigation.
“We do not condone any behaviour (sic) that goes against our guiding principles and take a zero-tolerance approach to any breach of our equine welfare policies,” Brautigam said. “These historic allegations are deeply upsetting for everyone involved in our sport, but we fully support the FEI investigation and will take any appropriate disciplinary action when this process is complete.”
FEI President Ingmar De Vos said the organization is “deeply disappointed with this case.”
“However, it is our responsibility and crucial that we address any instances of abuse, as equine welfare cannot be compromised,” De Vos said in a statement.
“Charlotte has expressed genuine remorse for her actions, and we recognise (sic) and appreciate her willingness to take responsibility. Despite the unfortunate timing, we believe this action reaffirms the FEI’s commitment to welfare as the guardians of our equine partners and the integrity of our sport.”
Dujardin, 39, won two gold medals in equestrian for England in 2012 for team dressage and individual dressage, respectively, and then won another in 2016 for individual dressage.
She has six Olympic medals, including two bronzes from the 2021 Olympics in Tokyo.
