Dressage Star Booted From Olympic Games Over Alleged Horse Abuse
Charlotte Dujardin, one of Britain’s most celebrated female equestrians, withdrew from the Paris Olympics this week after a video surfaced showing her “making an error of judgment,” as she put it in a social media statement on Tuesday.
The six-time Olympic dressage medalist said that the International Federation for Equestrian Sports (FEI) was “understandably” investigating the incident, and that she had “made the decision to withdraw from all competition—including the Paris Olympics—while this process takes place.”
She added that she would cooperate fully with the investigation.
