Dujardin dumped as ambassador for charity after horse-whipping storm

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.
