Three-time Olympic dressage gold medallist Charlotte Dujardin has been banned for one year and fined 10,000 Swiss Francs (£8,886) for “excessively” whipping a horse.

Video footage emerged in July of Dujardin repeatedly striking the horse with a long whip around its legs, just days before the start of the Paris 2024 Olympics.

Dujardin’s international ban, handed out by the FEI – the world governing body of equestrian sports – is backdated to the start of her provisional suspension and she will be eligible to compete again from July 2025.

British Equestrian and British Dressage have also reciprocated the a suspension, preventing Dujardin from competing in national competition or training events during the same period.
