- An ongoing investigation is taking place following video footage emerging from four years ago of team GB dressage star Charlotte Dujardin, whipping a horse on its legs more than 24 times. Charlotte has since withdrawn from the Paris 2024 Olympics, stating the video shows her making ‘an error of judgement.’

That horse is a saint. They are big powerful animals and yet so tolerant. No horse deserves such treatment.
His Bit is So Severe In The Front, that he can’t go forth - and has no choice but to be held (to gain ‘impulsion’ of the gate) whilst suffering the abuse from behind.
Sickening.
@@elizabethigoe3142 but cows chickens pigs...that's fine
True, No animal deserve this treatment!
Wicked wicked women and you can be sure this is NOT the first time either, ban her for life
i agree, what a horrible person, she should be banned from having any animal
She should be arrested and charged. Heartbreaking
@@susanjohnson5298 . Totally agree ! Evil to the core.
There are no excuses so even come with those !
I agree absolutely, ban her for life, never let her ride a competition again
This is her first time alright, first time being filmed. 🤬
Unforgivable by Charlotte Dujardin. Should be banned for life from animals.
@paulc1553 . Exactly !! Well said !!
And stripped (And whipped) of everything
@margaretwhite8996: Thank you!
@worldview730: Exactly.
She needs to have her medals returned, banned from the sport permanently and jailed for 3 years for animal cruelty😢😢😢
Hear hear!
Including the woman who's laughing behind the camera!!! Shame on them
Well said.
Absolutely!!!!! 1000%
Absolutely.💯
Unbelievable, what terrible treatment from a so called professional. I don’t believe for a moment it was an error of judgment, she simply got caught. My heart goes out to all the other Horses that have been ‘trained’ by her. She deserves to be dropped from the team, it’s no different concerning Jockeys and their use of the whip, we need these governing bodies to protect all animals.
In racing the rules are very strict. Jockeys do get banned.
La carcel es su lugarbmujer malvada
@carolineberry3169 In racing they might be banned for a few days or a week. So, not very strict.
@@eilidhsomerville5554 no they get banned longer than just a few days. Some bans can be over two weeks.
Evil foul woman. Putting a horse in a small compound cage and whipping, she should be in jail for animal cruelty.
The whipping was abuse. But horse was not in a cage or pen, it's an indoor arena measuring 35 meters wide and 70 metres long, they are a common site at most equestrian yards and are a blessing when the weather's bad.
@@TheHouseofcoolstuff I'd hate to hear what you think about people that actually execute animals
You can tell it wasn't her first time. Hope she doesn't get off just because she's posh.
Dreadful, and someone was laughing ! Disgraceful
@@mandymullett1615 Oh do grow up luv'..
So you're not fussed she's laughing.
@@paulatreanor5566probably a fox hunting fan
Wish denise would sort her smokers hack out !
@@lucius4556 What my dear old Mum would call a 'Fishwife'.
That’s horrendous. An error of judgement.??? She should never be allowed to own any animals again. The horse was clearly in pain. Shame on her. I hope she is truly shocked and embarrassed by her actions when she watches the video.
Do you ride horses
She NEEDS ALL HER MEDALS REMOVING BEING BANNED FOR LIFE, That poor horse suffering at her hands. Evil
Well said
@@Cherie-c8magree heartbreaking
Cruelty is cruelty, no matter how you try and justify it. I don’t believe, for one minute, this was an isolated incident.
Shocking behavior!
She should be banned from training animals.
@@bevturner2258 all sports with horses 🐎 are abuse because we are making a horse 🐎 submit to what we expect from them the whipping is the tip of the surface do you think horse like being forced to perform race and whatever else we make them do we are a society who endorse abuse on animals we just pretend we don't go look at the animals they abuse for food chickens battery ones pigs in tiny spaces the whipping is just one example of our inhumane treatment of animals and I'm not a vegetarian just in case you think I am
That’s terrible!! Very cruel! She just got caught- the poor horse!

Do you know what it was she used
Dah I think it was a large whip@@michaelrejoinbradford1282
@@michaelrejoinbradford1282she was hitting the horse with a lunging whip.
I worked with horses for decades including doing dressage and find this shocking! What was the horse meant to understand with the repeated whipping?
I asked myself the same question.
Been a dressage trainer for decades! Charlotte was wrong and this is unforgivable for a beginner much less a professional!
That is disgusting she should be jailed for animal cruelty
the annoying thing is though is that she won't be
completely agree. Heartbreaking
Along with the person holding the camera and laughing.
No Excuses. This Is Awful Abuse Of An Animal. She Needs To Be Brought To Book For What She Has Done... And Banned For Life From Keeping or Having Contact With Any Animal.
I find the person laughing disturbing
It’s the same person who has reported the incident apparently
Thats the videographer who is laughing, she also owns the horse and she is the one who has just released the video. She’s also a Grand Prix dressage rider, did she care about the horse.
@@lizroberts1569 no she definetly didnt care about the horse
This must happen all the time, it was just filmed once
The client who made the complaint testified this behavior was standard….in the stable. Only recorded one.
@@MegaTimtheman how do they make horses run fast during races, you think they are really kind and patient when trying to make them dance?!
This is particularly sickening because dressage enthusiasts believed that she was an ethical rider/trainer and deserved to win medals because she was knowledgeable and kind to her horses. She was the darling of the sport. How the mighty fall and how gutting that we can now have no confidence in dressage training if this top class rider can't even play fair. Also, she knows how endangered the sport is yet she didn't care enough to take steps to protect it. Competitive dressage died today..... Kudos to the whistleblower.
👏👏👏
Completely agree with Denise about the Dutch Olympian, complete double standards again 😡
Should be criminally charged. Why has she not been charged?
She needs to be banned for ever being near animals, disgusting behaviour and who is laughing while she does this? Just vile
That wicked and cruel woman. I hope she gets what she deserves in the way of karma. Justice comes in all forms.
👍👍👍👍
Horrendous!!!😢😢 & the person laughing is just as despicable🤐
I’m sure that I heard someone laughing during that despicable film…
I would love to know who is filming and laughing at this? Just pure evil on both Charlotte as well as the one filming.
You did
Yes, there was some witch laughing.
She thought it was normal she didn't know it was abuse. And then she find out it's wrong hence why she exposed the video
That’s how you know it’s normal behaviour and not an “error of judgement”.
Disgusting she wants banned for life no animal deserves to be treated in that way so cruel 😢
I'm glad you don't pay for animal abuse on your plate. This video abuse is nothing to what food animals are subjected to.
The person filming is laughing. They also need to be looked in too
There's neither an excuse nor an explanation that would justify treating any animal in such a disgusting way. "Training" ? Medals to satisfy your own ego and ambitions? Error of judgement?Shame on you! ☹️
Love and healing thougths to all the beautiful horses who have suffered over the years in your "care"; may they all recover fully from any traumatising experiences and pain suffered, physically or mentally. 💜🐴
Oh my god so hard to watch ..what is else going to happen to her ?.just stepping down isn't enough ..cruel cruel.She should be punished .This was not a one off .
" Some may find it distressing" I wanna meet those who don't.😢😢
Animal abusers are the worst in humanity. The worst.
I'm glad you don't yourself pay for animal abuse on your plate.
She should repay all the lottery funding back.
She's a multimillionaire. Why is she getting lottery money ?
This is terrible. I'm in tears. No animal should never have this treatment!! I hope she is never a loud to own a horse or pet again!!
Despicable. Stopping exploiting animals all together would eliminate abuse.
What do you mean by exploiting ? Riding ? Driving? Logging with?
And most people treat their horses well, and the horses also benefit.
I’d also like to know who it was off camera that seemed to find it all so amusing. Unfortunately there are pretty obnoxious people in the horse world who are so obsessed with competitive success that their horses are just instruments towards achieving that goal, and are treated as such. Apart from the cruelty, it’s a form of betrayal in my eyes, and places the equestrian world in a bad light to the rest of the public, when in reality most horse owners are true horse lovers who care hugely about their animals’ wellbeing.
To me, it sounded more like a nervous laugh. Some people laugh from nervousness as a coping mechanism
Well said
I am absolutely disgusted seeing this no animal should be treated like this i am a dog trainer you will never get the best from a animal by brutality you get the best from animals by asking them in the correct way to train them the person hold the accountability for this and i am shocked that Charlotte Dujardin has acted in such a manner she should now be banned from the sport and owning horses as dog owners are banned from owning them when cruelty takes place
Agree with you!
Try punctuation next time 😊
@@bevturner2258 nice
What about Michael Vicks he abused dogs and they hv him a 10 million a year job
@@carolynkernan939 i agree where i live the gundog people (some famous trainer) are brutal and i hate to see it nothing will happen until someone calls them out and the person with the horse feared reprisals for doing it

He went to prison first…
Cruel sod take back all her medals disgracefull she isnt human to get off on that
I'll never watch horse dressage in the same way again !! 😢😢😢
Don’t anyone buy that this was a one off lapse of behaviour, this was her modus operandi for ‘training’ horses.
No way this was an isolated error of judgement.
I don't care what everyone says
It's not s natural movement for a horse
Don't kid yourselves this is humans wanting to control an animal no matter what
Dressage has always been a sport that is extremely painful and distressing for the horse. Time to stop it.
Yes, dressage is so unnatural and fake. Let horses move freely.
Yes, totally unnatural forceful way to make a horse move.
And, I was going to Paris just to see her! I'm shocked! This is horrible. Shame on her!
So sick of these so called ‘elite’ riders.
The poor horse is so stressed and frightened, it's breathing is rapid and heavy, the fact that CD had to whip the horse around his legs shows abuse on another level. Horses are prey animals they need their legs to take them at speed away from the predator chasing them and horses are flight animals, so they are totally dependent on their legs, yes some will fight back.
This is also abuse and humiliation of the rider, because if the trainer is having to beat or whip the horse while the trainer is on the ground, giving the lesson, the trainer is saying that the rider riding the horse is useless and can't ride--power and control. These top trainers/riders charge ever so much money to give a lesson, so the horse and rider are paying to be abused!? It's all about the money!!
I think that they should reenact the scene from the film Ace Ventura Pet Detective in which Ace grabs the whip out of a jockey’s hand and gives the jockey a jolly good thrashing ….. as if to say “see how you like it!”
👏👏👏
😂😂
And someone laughing in the background when she was doing it
I think it was because they thought Dejardin was whipping one off and the reaction of the horse. But later obviously did not like it. As now is a legal case. Probably she Dejardin has whipped her own horse 🐴 poor horses. Can not she feel some sympathy for the horses 🐴 ? Can she feel awful, hurting such noble animals.indeed she has A heart so cruel ! An error ? She whipped the horse 24 times in less than a minute. A video did not emerge ! A lawyer has presented the video to protect the future of horses. Horses have to be protected from Dejardin.
What is done in darkness will always come to light she has been exposed her career is over.
Did you notice the horse was kicking backwards as it was whipped!
Yes. It was basically say f-off
God she should never been let near a horse again disgusting woman this was disgusting abuse to a animal 😢
Absolurly disgusting. It was NOT an error in judgment. It was a deliberate act of whipping a horse. She should be charged with animal abuse.
Carl Hester should be interviewed. He trained her does he do this??
Sabotage by a Jelous Rival!!! What about the German team their trainer Punched there horse in the Face, it is them that deserve to be banned, not Charlotte Du Jardan. They are trying to ruin her reputation and you fools have all fallen for it. She is an Excellent Horse woman and she deserves to be heard. Both sides of the situation need to be taken into account , 😢.
I’m not a pet or animal person but this made me feel ill. I don’t believe for a second she did this once.
Its true.. This sport shouldn't be active. A horse doesn't trot this way. This brings to light how animals in sport are clearly abused. Enough is enough!!!!!!!!!
What do you mean “A horse doesn’t trot this way” it’s trotting normally
@@johnnyyy1111no its not. Notice how it props up it heels at each 2 4. Thats a dressage canter. It takes whipping to teach it.
@@EvidentlyFire well, they shouldn't be whipped should they! She's held the whip tightly with both hands and is hitting the horse harshly numerous times. You clearly think this is acceptable.. It isn't!!! No need to whip a horses legs for entertainment and money. Unacceptable. Horse is clearly distressed and trapped by this evil woman. Thank God this has come to light.
@@saira7741Anyone keeping horses is cruel. They should be running free and not trapped in those stinking fields
it's like a circus-sport. Trained with whips. Awful.
How to end a career in one cruel lesson. DISGUSTING treatment of a gentle animal.
Green shirt knows absolutely nothing about horses, or natural gaits. Dresage is actually showcasing the horses natural gaits , and partnerships between rider and hhorse. Communication. Via seat, leg, hands. The horses are not "trained" or "forced " to do something unnatural. Drsssage is natural gaits.
disgusting case of animal cruelty.
She should be jailed for animal cruelty
Agree.
Ban whips
Yes yes yes
I've read that she hit the horse TWENTY FOUR times in that video. It's time we have FAR HARSHER PUNISHMENTS for animal abuse!! There are dressage riders who truly love their horses and would never do that. Ban her for life from working with horses!! She should certainly be banned for life from competing..
Cruel cruel beyond she probably been doing it for ages
She should be prosecuted !!!!!
All medals should be removed from her and banned for life
Well said judy
UNFORGIVABLE for an Olympic equestrian!
I think any time you have horses in competition (high level) there's going to be mistreatment, whether it's dressage, or polo, or jumping, or racing. It just breaks my heart how they are brutally used by people who will do anything to win.
She’s a pro with that whip , forehand and backhand , the technique is flawless, she definitely has a future in tennis 😅😅!!!! Clearly not an “error of judgment “ but a training habit 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Have you ever watched horse racing. Jockeys constantly use the whip the horses. Whips need to be banned
Not constantly, 6 times in a flat race, 7 in a jump race harsh penalties for misuse, jockeys get banned for a number of days if they over step the mark which equates to no wages, also they use padded whips unlike the dressage riders
That poor horse …. What a depressing spectacle. Cruel woman x
Charlotte Dujardin is cruel and out of date with her ongoing abusive methods. She should be stripped of all 3 Gold medals. She is not an outstanding example of an Olympian!!!
The horse did not misbehave even when being abused. Charlotte beats without getting even upset. Icecold.She should be banned forever. For the sake of the horses and the reputation of the sport.
And who is the person laughing/smirking off screen…. Disgraceful
In reply to the ladies on the program who think that the passage and the piaffe with a very arched neck are not natural movements of the horse, they are indeed natural movements, and anyone who doesn't think so has never sat a stud horse too near a pretty mare!😄
It is true that these movements are not naturally done on command, but they are definitely natural movements.
She's probably been doing this for some time naive to think 🤔 its a one off.
Laws need to be made and Enforced now for any kind of abuse to horses. Heftyf fines and jail time now!! It's long past time for real consequences to be enforced!
Just showing her true self ,God knows how long this poor horse has been treated like this, ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING !
Laughing. Thats despicable. The rider of that horse doesn't seem concerned either. It's sad. Ego has taken over.
banned for life
Can someone tell me why the person taking the video is giggling?
Dressage is nothing more than getting horses to 'perform' like circus animals.
It's NOT a sport and should be banned.
Dressage is a leftover from a time when horses were trained for warfare ,As archery ,javelin shooting etc was for humans they all became” sport “if you get rid of one why not all .
@@andrewtrip8617 Those sports don't disrespect and abuse other living beings our entertainment BIG difference
@@andrewtrip8617 Those sports don't disrespect and abuse other living being for human entertainment = BiG difference !
@@andrewtrip8617 You're being sarcastic, right ?
Originally 'dressage' (think it means training) was akin to pilates for horses, so they would get stronger muscles and better balanced in their hind-end so they could carry a rider without injury and it was never meant as entertainment (As its pretty boring to watch dressage that is done for that reason, and alot of it is unridden work with the human on the ground). Much of what we see in competitive dressage is like you say, a circus, but it's not actually what dressage originally was intended for, and it's arguably not even dressage.
In High-Level FEI Dressage, this Cruel, Abusive behaviour is Very Common in Numerous Top Dressage Stables.
(Perhaps in the lower levels, it is not pertained). But at the high-levels where the sport is monetary and people’s minds are convoluted with the Competition Results - infliction and harm, and beating a horse into submission is Very Common.
Charlotte Dujardin
Frankly, you should be ashamed.Cruetly to animals in any form is disgusting. Shameful.
Clearly the olympics should review this sport - and ban the sport. Forcing a horse in that way is vile.
Disgusting .
horses in passage - an elevated trot - can be seen in wild horses and horses in their fields - especially when horses are alerted or startled or simply dancing floating in the wind...
Yeah, loved by their trainers as long as they are performing as trained. As soon as they’re no longer good they become pet food. Ugh!
Loose women should not abuse Christians either.
I wonder if that horse will perform at its best ever again. Every time it enters an arena it would be terrified that this will happen again.
Ask any person who was abused as a child if they ever fully got over it many years later . Same is for animals .
I have adopted all my pets from SPCA and after suffering neglect and abuse it takes years to regain their trust .
That poor horse. I don’t understand what it did that was so wrong. To me it looked like it simply did not understand what was wanted. You’re supposed to train them with patience and kindness . What’s it supposed to learn being whipped like that.
She looked so comfortable to whip a horse, this wasn't a first time thing. She's only ashamed because she got caught.
Don't ban the sports, but it seriously needs to change. And that change starts with all of us equestrians to make the sport a better place, especially for the horses. Horses are our partners and not machines.
It's not possible to change people who think they are entitled to inflict harm on animals and call it training because they get fast results from it. The only change we can hope for is for those who witness it to have the courage to speak out against them.
Disgusting medals taken away and banned from keeping animals, cruelty deserves being taken to court if it had been a human she assaulted with a whip she would certainly before a judge
I am shocked and horrified by this video and this awful woman - not only for what she did, but also for calling it an “error of judgment” which is clear demonstration of her cynicism. And yes, to make the vile deed even worse, it is accompanied by laughter. I can only agree that she should be stripped of everything she has ever been awarded and banned for life from competing. I don’t know whether it is possible to ban someone from owning animals, but even that would be far too little. Unfortunately, I fear that this is merely the tip of a revolving iceberg.
Criminal charges need to be pressed. An example has to be set. Look at Tennessee Walking Horses and Big Lick as an example of what is hidden behind the scenes!!!
She is a cruel cruel trainer- you should never teach by fear!! Shame shame on her. It’s always so easy to pick on the weak, shy , unresponsive simply because they are kind and don’t fight back!
It is obviously not the first time this has happened...... an error in judgment does not even come close to what this is. She should be banned from working with animals 😮
That poor innocent sentient being- i am disgusted
Judi was so right at the end. As long as all these animals are under our control, it's still for our own seflishness, as humans. Our own satisfaction. We can at least acknowledge that truth about animal ownership.
Absolutely disgusting 😢
I agree the timing is very strategic from the Dutch but either way it’s disgusting! It’s the fact it’s repeated, using 2 hands and from both directions that makes it even more sinister
I mean... this is really the LEAST of her offences here. The act of riding horses AT ALL injures them, particularly when they're younger than five years old. But no matter how old the horse and how careful the rider, riding damages the skeleton, spinal nerves, and skin of the horse. Given that we only ride for the sake of pleasure in contemporary settings, hurting horses in this way is clearly unethical. Further, while breeding these individuals to create new horses and confining the foals might well create a desire on their part to be active, providing them with activity doesn't justify breeding them for our pleasure and placing them in confinement.
Horses also do not enjoy being "broken" for the sake of riding, especially when this process includes the use of bits, whips, and other such items. In fact, the need for pain-inducing devices should be a clear indication that the horse does not care to do the rider's bidding. From an ethical perspective, it is wrong to whip a dog or a child for the sake of training, especially when the victim does not benefit from the activity in any way. It is also wrong to burden dogs and children with substantial extra weight for the sake of exercise. The same is true of horses. It is wrong to whip them for training, and it is wrong to burden them with the weight of a human rider.
Yeah i get what you are saying. But would you have thought of it as cruel in the days ppl needed to ride. Before cars, where maybe a doctor has to ride fast. Is it always unethical to ride a horse.
Indeed, we did many cringy things in days of yore,@@EvidentlyFire. However, in a contemporary setting, abusing horses by riding them is only done for the sake of entertainment and personal pleasure.
@@EvidentlyFire No, it's not always unethical to ride a horse and doesn't have to be. If they are treated like athletes and conditioned appropriately, in my experience horses enjoy their work as much as people do. It's when shortcuts are applied that it becomes a problem. The other problem is the judging that awards the points and prizes for the performance. There's clearly a lot to be fixed.
that is also dangerous to the rider
Someone laughing in the background?
This is not a one time occurrence in the horse world, especially the competitive, international field. It's about big money and fame, not the horse. It would be a big mistake to think this is a Charlotte Dujardin disgrace (and it is) but it's the equestrian world who have consistently ignored blatantly cruel practices. The international horse bodies (show jumping, dressage and eventing) all need to be held to account in a very public way. So yes ban them until they clean up their respective houses.
Change that label "Mistreated" to abused, God only knows how many times she did this
