Dujardin dumped as ambassador for charity after horse-whipping storm
Imhotep ridden by Great Britain's Charlotte Dujardin react following their performance during the FEI Dressage World Cup on day two of the London International Horse Show at ExCel London, December 14, 2023

CHARLOTTE DUJARDIN has been dropped as an ambassador for horse welfare charity Brooke amid a horse-whipping controversy engulfing the British Olympian.

It comes after she was provisionally suspended by equestrians’ governing body and she withdrew from the Paris Olympics over a video from four years ago showing her making what she described as “an error of judgement” during a coaching session.

The video shows Dujardin repeatedly hitting a student’s horse with a whip from the ground.
