In a statement, it said:"The UIPM Executive Board has given a black card to the Germany team coach Kim Raisner, disqualifying her from the remainder of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games."The EB reviewed video footage that showed Ms Raisner appearing to strike the horse Saint Boy, ridden by Annika Schleu, with her fist during the riding discipline of the women's modern pentathlon competition.
"Her actions were deemed to be in violation of the UIPM competition rules, which are applied to all recognised modern pentathlon competitions including the Olympic Games. "The EB decision was made today at the Tokyo Stadium before the resumption of the men's modern pentathlon competition."It was unclear if she was supposed to have had any role in the men's competition in modern pentathlon on Saturday.
Quite right poor horse doesn’t deserve to be punched horrible woman
She should be banned for life from competing in the sport.
So she should have been, and reported to her home countries animal authorities and banned from “caring” or training animals ever again!
Lynifa poor horse ☹☹ x
Shocking 💔
wasn't a puch..just a tap ffs
Disgraceful human being.
Absolutely disgusting, the poor poor animal 😔
If the rider and coach do this when the world is watching imagine what they do when no one is watching. Inexcusable!
Horse kinda happy
Should be ban from the sport
No animal events should be in the olympics period
Good.
That poor horse, look at the suffering in its face, vile rider and vile coach - punish them, treat them the same, penalise and ban them from ever being near any animals again.
The rider and coach should be penalised, fined and treated the same and then banned from being anywhere near animals. Horrific behaviour and for what, a medal - absolutely disgusting.
Someone ought to treat the coach and rider in the same manner and see how they like it.
Good , and I hope the horse contributed to the kicking out !
Maybe the horse had been tampered with so that it was uncomfortable with the new rider. It's not unknown. It's called nobbling. That coach should have been punched though. It's what I would have done to her if she'd punched my horse.
A medal at what price
Just heartbreaking seeing that poor animal distressed, the animal's health is more important than any sport and winning medals, i hope the horse is fine now.
Really. Omg what a goofy coach, 😱😱😱
I’m very worried about the horse when they get him home. There will be no one to see the abuse and also these horses do not live out a retirement. They are not pets so there are no green pastures for these poor creatures.
Drasage is lame, sports involving animals shouldn't even be at the Olympics. Leave these poor horses alone. They belong in a field eating grass with their friends...
These aristocratic 'sports' need to go away. Nothing good ever comes out of horse 'sports'. Nothing but abuse at a certain level.
Not competent!
I seen abuse in vichy,( France) lastweek.The jockey was kicking and kicking the horse because it wouldn't go in the stall,and when I say kicking, I mean kicking it hard. And that was on camera for all to see , god knows what he does to it behind closed doors.Vile piece of shit.
Disgusting abuse to horses,just Sick in the head, the lot of them .
Horrible cow 😡
If she does that with the world watching imagine how she treats the animals in private. I’m sure she’s not alone in this either.
should have jumped
Poor horse looks so stressed. Upper class idiots using horses for sport and self gain, should be banned
Great! This isn’t a sport anyways, it’s pure animal cruelty!
Nice picture of AOC.
Poor horse! im pretty sure they won't be nice to the horse now. Might slaughter him because they didn't win. Animals shouldn't be involved in sport. Ban all Equestrian Olympics2020
As you do ,!!
Which one is the horse ?
Good. Disgusting behaviour.
Should be regarded as animal cruelty
They're all drugged anyway, don't watch it, never watched it, and after that probably never will
Tapped the horse!
This modern pentathlon is barbaric and should be banned, no animal should be treated like this, so wrong.
That's sport for you.
The showjumping element needs removing from this event. Every round (with the exception of a few) has been horrific to watch. The way the German competitor threated that horse was horrific! She should be banned as well!
Second German coach at this Olympics who thinks that striking competitors is motivating.
Horrible act from the coach … coach should be banned from every game not just Tokyo
All sports involving animals should not be allowed in the Olympics and this is just an example of the AnimalCruelty that takes place at sporting events.
