Equestrian sports: Whistleblower in Dujardin case did it to save dressage

# Equestrian sports: The whistleblower that revealed how British Olympian Charlotte Dujardin beat a horse, says she did it to save dressage. The 39-year-old, who claimed six Olympic medals, was shown in a video repeatedly whipping a horse around its legs during training. She withdrew from the Olympic Games afterwards, and was also provisionally suspended by British Equestrian. The woman who released the video says it isn’t fun to ruin a career, but the issue of abuse of horses is wide-spread in the sport.
