Good Morning Britain presenter Charlotte Hawkins has said she was “really shocked” after watching a video of Olympic dressage rider Charlotte Dujardin whipping a horse 24 times.
During the episode, GMB aired the footage exclusively for the first time, which showed Dujardin whipping the horse while a student was riding in the saddle.
“I was really shocked when I saw this video and it will be distressing for people to see it.
He told The Telegraph: “She took the long whip and she was beating the horse more than 24 times in one minute.”
