The video of the Team GB ­equestrian star Charlotte Dujardin ­whipping a horse 24 times in a private ­coaching session has cost her a damehood, ­official sources have told the Guardian.

How many of these 'professional' people/trainers/riders do this and no one says anything? They're only ever sorry because they get called out. Something is wrong with your training and teaching methods if you have to whip or beat a horse in order for it to do what you want. Will her being caught out change anything? Probably not.
