The agency that gives out lottery money says it's 'disturbed' and has suspended Dujardin's eligibility for funding.
Video has emerged of Team GB's Charlotte Dujardin repeatedly whipping a horse during a training session. Britain's joint-most decorated female Olympian pulled out of the Paris Games over the footage - recorded during a lesson at a private barn. The 39-year-old said it was 'completely out of character' and an 'error of judgement' which 'does not reflect how I train my horses or coach my pupils'.
Lottery cash suspended The International Federation for Equestrian Sports has provisionally suspended Dujardin for six months. UK Sport - the agency that gives out lottery money - said it was 'disturbed' and has also removed her eligibility for funding pending a FEI investigation. British Equestrian boss Jim Eyre said: 'As the guardians of equestrian sport, we must uphold the highest standards of equine welfare - the horse's wellbeing is paramount.
