@@TheOldandslow I agree with you on that. Unfortunately the Olympic regulatory requires this to happen 3 to 4 times until they take the horse off the roster.

Annika herself said in an interview that she didn't understand all the hate she was getting, as she didn't do anything wrong. The horse clearly needed a firm hand, so that's what she did. She did the best she could do, given the circumstances and the horse. I call bullshit, everything she did, was wrong. And it was horrible to watch. And because of this sport in the olympics, people are going to be targeting horse riding once again, saying we abuse our horse in jumping, and dressage, and it shouldn't be a sport at all. So thank you, Annika Schleu, thank you UIPM, and thank you SO much Pentathlong athletes, for ruining something people have worked YEARS to clear up.

This is the Olympics. She has one shot. This is everything she has been busting ass for... for years. Her family is likely heavily invested in this as well at this point. To be up there on a horse that's having a moment... is soul crushing, especially at a key moment like this. The "punch" did not hurt the horse one bit. Not anymore than the little whips, chronic heels to it's belly, or bit in its mouth. I feel sorry for her. The horse had a bad day, and her year is ruined for it. The best she could have done in that situation is give up on the dream she had been perusing for the last 10-15 years of her life. She was crying because it was hopeless. Hindsight aside, most people wouldn't handle a situation like this with huge amounts of grace or poise. "Surprise, your horse does not care about your Olympic ambitions, give up and walk away." Not many people hop off their hose and call it a day... at the Olympics.

You can’t expect a pair to do well at this level of jumping with only 20 minutes of riding together prior.

Do you know how the skin of a horse works compared to the skin of a human? It is actually thinner and contains more nerve endings. So yes, the horse absolutely felt it. The way the horses treat each other is not a way to justify something 'we' do to them. Whipping, kicking and punching hurts a horse and punishing is cruel.

[@Sigmund_Fraud]

@@claudia273 wrong. Horses hide, or skin is at least 1mm *thicker* than human skin. Can be up to 6mm thick in certain areas. But of course they can feel pain! I'm simply saying that the "punch" the coach gave it wouldn't have hurt the horse much at all. Whipping a horse hurts way more. I don't like cruelty to animals, but I wouldn't call what I'm seeing here cruelty. Edit: sorry I was wrong. It's even thicker. Up to 7mm thick.

[@claudia273]

@@Sigmund_Fraud It doesn't matter how thick the entire skin is. Most of the skin is the dermis (middle layer). The dermis is up to 6mm, so about 90% of the skin. The nerve endings are located in the epidermis, the upper layer of the skin, which has a thickness of approximately 50um (0.05 mm). Recent studies show it is in fact thinner than the human upper layer. But yes, whipping does hurt more, but that doesn't mean this cannot hurt. The fact that something worse (if you ask me, the whipping is worse indeed) is happening doesn't mean that the rest (the 'less bad') is okay.

The trainer was not suspended for abuse, they were suspended for interfering with the ride. Grabbing the rains, poke at the horse etc is also not allowed from the outside.

Also soooo many of these rides have such strong bonds with horses and it goes both ways The horses in the Olympics should be what we call bomb proof. Meaning they shouldn't react like this.

That sounds super fun, I think the idea of having to complete a course or set of challenges on a random horse is a cool idea, but it shouldnt be a part of the pentathlon. While every equestrian should be able to ride different horses its gonna take a very skilled rider to jump that high on a random horse, and these rides just arent. If you watch the rides they're super off balance at even a canter and fly out the saddle at the smallest overreach. Its obsurd to me these riders who have to focus on 4 other sports are jumping higher that most equestrians who dedicate their lives to horses ever will. The jumps should be lowered and they should have their own horses imo

[@lesleywilbourne7823]

They often do that in showjumping events and it’s great fun to watch and I can safely say I have NEVER seen a rider whip the horse he/she is riding. That punishment whipping the rump that this woman used shows a total lack of horsemanship - you whip a horse there you’re not going to get a very good response from the horse! She’s lucky it was better mannered than she was because it could have bucked and reared until it dumped her on the ground. And I wouldn’t have blamed it if it had. As for the coach thumping it, that was just one incidence apparently it was witnessed before the rider even entered the arena.

[@eh3477]

I'd bet your teams had many more riding skills than this rider, who appears to be not much more than an advanced beginner. You don't have to "bond" with a well-trained horse for a brief competition, while that would be nice. This horse had some issues, the rider appeared to be scared of the horse and/or jumping, and the horse's problems were completely beyond the rider's skill level. It also didn't help that the horse had a gag bit, she was really tugging on the reins, and the rider's unprofessional meltdown was the end of it. I was surprised that of the riders I saw, most of them looked like they had pretty basic riding skills - I had thought pentathletes had a lot of riding experience, but maybe not.

This concept is actually really cool and should ONLY be done with appreciative riders.

Whereas the riders who were involved in the meets you commented about are obviously not going to push a horse they’ve never seen before, if the horse doesn’t want to do something, you stop.

I owned, bred and trained horses for 27 years. The coach "punching" the horse? That horse was ready to go backwards through the fence. She did that to tell the horse the fence was there and to move forward. She didn't hurt that horse one bit. The rider's punching also didn't hurt that horse at all. The rider likely was trying to draw attention to the rear of the horse to force it forward. That is a horse likely close to 1,000 pounds. Those strikes would not have hurt me at 160 lbs! The real issue is the horse was afraid and it and the rider could be hurt if it was forced to participate further. I get that you work hard to get there and want to finish but emotions got ahead of the rider and she should have quit pushing the horse before that point. But the mental stress on the horse will be much harder to get over for that animal than those minimal touches by the coach and rider.

I'm not horsey, but to a layman looking at that "punch", it looked to me that the rider didn't have the horse under control and it was backing towards the fence so the woman gave it a nudge to move it away. It all seems a mountain out of a molehill. When you read the headlines it make out she did a Tyson Fury on it.

In Eventing - local level to Olympic Level, you're not even allowed to Whip the horse more than 2x in a row. Pentathlon is an old sport developed for the Olympics. Sadly these days most Pentathletes are simply strong swimmers who add in the other sports.

[@melodiclogic9904]

i think that is the problem with events like the pentathlon, or the decathlon. i believe that events like the biathlon and even the triathlon are focused events, and you have to be fairly good at all of them to get a medal, but once you’re getting 5,7,10 different sports (and i mean different) sports in a row, unless you’re a sporting robot you’re not going to be amazing at every single one at the same consistency. you get a sport where the fastest times in 1 or 2 sports is the most important, and everyone else is just average in all the others. hence why you have a woman who was first at the time, then got on a horse and completely fluffed her chances and took it out on a horse.

[@cadeo.1265]

I’ve ridden horses a time or two but I am by no means a horse-riding expert, especially in jumping and show. However, one of the first things I was taught was to not panic and remain calm if the horse spooks. Horses can pick up on the mood and emotions of the rider. And since she decided to lose all composure while trying to “calm” the horse, it’s no wonder it was worked up. I understand that it’s a frustrating and disappointing situation. But she did nothing to make the situation any better. Honestly I highly doubt the horse even felt the “punch.” I am NOT saying it’s okay and still think it’s unprofessional for a rider and crew that call themselves the best in the world. In my opinion her trial should have been stopped once it was seen that both she and the horse were losing it, before either one of them wound up hurt.

[@JavierBonillaC]

This has gotten to a ridiculous hypocritical point. Horses used to fight in wars. Mike Tyson in his prime could not hurt a horse by hitting g in the croup. We have become a bunch of Sissies. It makes me cringe. Go save the hundreds of thousands of horses slaughtered every year at kill pens. Oh no, that takes some effort. ‘I better sit here, watch tv and complain if a horse is made to poop while running”.

[@nzanetta1]

That whole debacle made me embarrassed to be an equestrian. Those poor horses being asked to babysit people who are not competent at jumping fences that high. I was just as outraged as the rest of the world and I think that punch was much less dangerous for the hors than the jumping under those conditions.

[@firefrost9718]

After seeing the first video about this I did some checking and come to find out this horse had already went one round with another rider not long before Annika had to ride. The horse Saint Boy was already stressed by another BAD ride, the heat, to much garbage gear these people don't understand the use of and misuse and being overworked in between rounds. These people need reg. lessons with a trainer and should lease or buy their own horses if they want to continue in this type of event. This horse is ruined for jumping now and had that "trainer" done HER JOB she would have seen the clear warning signs this horse was in distress. This event makes (the way it is now) a form of show jumping look bad and both horse /rider could have been seriously hurt.

[@DeannaWalsh]

That was not a “punch”. They blew this way off the charts out of proportion. The real issue is that rider was so terrified of the horse that the horse could smell it and refused out of fear along with her rider. Rider should have dismounted and led the horse out of the ring. It was her disaster that she could not manage the horse and it could have been worse. The only issue I have with the coach is she encouraged the horse and rider to continue on. The end.

[@philippus4590]

The original Pentathlon like the 3 day eventing was an Olympic sport where only military Calvary riders originally could compete once the military converted away from horses that is when everyday people started to be allowed to do it. Only officers were issued permanent mounts hence why riders only get 20 minutes with horse (they were expected to be able to ride any horse if your horse died under you in battle you would grab closest loose horse and continue to fight grounded Calvary was dead man ) But let’s face it only officers carried swords and fencing isn’t really how Calvary riders use their swords. I think and I don’t know how pentathlon is scored that the horse portion needs to be made the highest scoring part. from what I watched it looked like they practiced and were good at the other four parts and then jumped on a horse like it was their first time. I really felt sorry for the poor horses that had to put up with in my opinion beginner riders. In no way should most of those people been attempting to jump that big of fences.

[@jpchiesa]

Actually the same horse did this very thing to another rider before this incident. Did you watch any of the other Olympic events, like the boxing events? Did you watch the Kumite events? Do you have an opinion on people really punching and knocking other people out? What the trainer did comes nowhere near the definition of inflicting pain on that horse and for the officials to punish her shows the height of hypocrisy considering they allow the riders to use crops to strike the horses and those inflict pain, and I do not condone their use.

She didn't punch it in any way. She is clearly pushing him away from the fence and her as he backs into her and the fence. 600kg of horse reversing over a fence and a person is extremely dangerous. I've seen many people push horses away from them like this so it's common and it in no way hurts the horse. Coach gets into trouble for pushing a horse off her but rider is freely allowed to whip horse repeatedly. This horse should not have been supplied to the rider. It's the sort of horse only one person can handle plus it was too 'oated' up and should have been exercised prior to being given to the rider. This is an incredibly dangerous situation that could have resulted in the death or injury of the rider. I won't be watching the Olympics ever again after this complete failure of justice or sense.

[@janicebourdage3567]

I'm not a horse person, but watch dressage for the beauty of the horses. Why is it that this woman continued when the horse was clearly distressed? Why did the coach not intervene? The woman was clearly having a breakdown on the horse and not in control of herself or the horse. Is winning more important than the horse's wellbeing? This woman is not an athlete or a sportsman.

Pretty much every jumper horse endures spurring, whipping, and tight reins, yet no one complains until a coach "punches" the horse.
