The video of six-time Olympic medallist Dujardin whipping a horse at least 24 times in a minute is not only a stain on her reputation but puts the future of equestrian sports at the Olympics under the spotlight
This just reminded me that there’s an amusement park near where I grew up where back in like the twenties and '30s and stuff, the idea of entertainment was to force a horse to run up a giant ramp out above a lake, maybe 50 feet up and have it jump into the water as a high diving horse.

Horse diving, it’s still a thing just extremely uncommon and highly defended but the like 5 people that still do it.
