German modern pentathlon coach booted out of Olympics for punching horse

German modern pentathlon coach Kim Raisner has been chucked out of the TokyoRider Annika Schleu was struggling to control the horse during the show jumping round of the women’s modern pentathlon, with Raisner trying to help her get the rattled nag under her spell.

Hitting the horse was not only reprehensible, but clearly did no good as Schleu could not get Saint Boy to cooperate and rode around the arena in tears as the animal refused to do any of the show jumping that the Germans were looking for. The statement read: ‘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.

the images of this woman in tears while this horse is clearly in a panic and confused is DISGUSTING! Get off the horse... stay off the horse.

Good

The bloody slag should be banned from having contact with any animals in the future.

The horse planned it out all along. 'You keep slapping me? Wait till we get to the final event, I'll show you'😂🐴

But she’s still allowed to be a trainer? Wonder how she trains those poor horses?

There should be a harsher penalty for doing that - disgraceful

Should horses really be at the Olympics ?
