German Coach Kicked Out of The Olympics For Punching Horse at Pentathlon.
Coach Kim Raisner who punched the horse, was heard on German TV urging tearful athlete Annika Schleu to “really hit” the horse while she struggled to control Saint Boy during the showjumping round.
Schleu had been leading the event before the equestrian, where athletes are given just 20 minutes to bond with a horse they have never ridden.
This viral video has a petition circulating to remove the equestrian portion from the modern pentathalon at the Tokyo Olympics. This is a slippery slope to all equestrian sports being removed from the Olympics and further down the line from horses being used in sport at all.
There are many YouTubers and websites saying that if circuses are no longer able to use animals then equestrian sport should not be allowed to either. While I know many of you are upset, you need to be aware of how people outside of the sport view the equestrian disciplines.
