Video shows Charlotte Dujardin repeatedly whipping horse as she drops out of Olympics

Footage of three-time Olympic champion Charlotte Dujardin repeatedly whipping a horse has been broadcast by Good Morning Britain.

Dujardin, 39, who was expected to be one of the stars of Team GB this year, was banned from the Paris Games after she was criticised for mistreating the horse.

The International Federation for Equestrian Sports (FEI) has said that the Olympian’s conduct contradicted standards of horse welfare and announced it had provisionally suspended the rider for six months.

Good Morning Britain aired the footage exclusively for the first time on Wednesday (24 July), which shows Dujardin whipping the horse while a student was riding in the saddle.
