Double Olympic champion Charlotte Dujardin has been suspended from all equestrian competitions for one year due to a controversy involving the whipping of a horse during a coaching session. The suspension, backdated to July 23, 2024, was imposed by the International Federation for Equestrian Sports following widespread condemnation of her actions. Dujardin will forfeit her eligibility for national competitions and training events during this period. The once-prominent British equestrian athlete has already lost sponsorships and public funding support as a result of the incident.
