CDJ withdrawn from paris

[Zoeypxo]

I have just seen on facebook Charlotte is being investigated by the FEI from a resurfaced video, she has withdrawn from all competition including paris.
Anyone know what this video is or whats happened?

 

[Trickywooo]

I was just about to ask the same

 

[Michen]

Holy c***! This is so disappointing. Her of all people

 

[Tiddlypom]

Eep, what on earth is this about

 

[Jeni the dragon]

Wow! Just saw about this!

 

[pistolpete]

Gawd! Is anyone left acting ethically? So disappointed in equestrian sport. Such a shame it’s gone this way.

 

[indie1282]

I’m not surprised if im honest.

 

[AShetlandBitMeOnce]

I came on here to see if anyone knows to what this relates.. really shocking and I know she is hard on her horses in terms of expectations but I didn’t expect something like this from her.

Dujardin out of Olympics after 'error of judgement' https://www.bbc.com/sport/equestrian/articles/c97d4vnxv45o

I've just seen that statement - shocked doesn't come close.

What's the video? Surprised it's taken long to surface

 

[U.N.Owen]

I am also not surprised after hearing some stories over the years and seeing her at shows.

I am however suspicious of the timing if the video is from 4 years ago, why not release then.

 

[j1ffy]

Hmmm, I wonder what will come out.

On the plus side....it will be great to see Becky Moody and Jaegerbomb compete there.

 

[U.N.Owen]

Who was the second reserve?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/equestrian/articles/c97d4vnxv45o - wonder what she's done?

Statement just released following an old vid of a training session emerging

 

[Ambers Echo]

Omg the world of dressage is imploding. Still I’m glad people are being held to account.

 

[ElleSkywalker]

Been waiting for someone to post thread and we post at same time

 

[Squeak]

Wow! As someone said the timing is very suspicious but hugely disappointing and another blow for dressage. Do you think Carl could also get dragged down by it?

Anyone any ideas on what the video shows? Charlotte must know that it was more than just a moment in time if she's withdrawn.

Same... it makes tyou wonder as she's always promoted kindness and empthetic training and horse welfare. It a huge knock for Team GB Olymics wise, but as you are, people, no matter their status need to be help accountable.

Apparently the incident happened 4 years ago... interesting timing for it being investigated.

 

[Zoeypxo]

Apparently she was abusing a horse during a lesson, it doesnt say if she was teaching or riding at the time, im sure the video will surface soon.. im gutted, really thought she was someone to look up to!

 

[Polos Mum]

Not sure how you make an error of judgement with her years of experience - I'd be intrigued to see

 

[Burnerbee]

Based on similar statements we can probably guess - but we mustn’t until we hear / see more … [watching through fingers ]

 

[Apercrumbie]

Hadn't seen any chatter online about a video of her, so I (probably wrongly) assume that she was told that it was going to be released, and she's getting this out before it gets too widespread. Really, really disappointed in her as I assume her behaviour in the video isn't good.

 

[SkylarkAscending]

I hope Carl isn’t affected by this

Indeed - 'a video has emerged' - does someone have an axe to grind?

 

[Bearsmum]

read this on the BBC just now and I will say I was immediately disappointed and shocked at the same time

 

[scats]

I have sadly heard things I haven’t liked the sound of with regards CDJ, but really hoped they weren’t true.

I will be interested to watch how this plays out.
But what a blow for GB.

 

[irishdraft]

Oh no, wait to see why/who has released video that is 4 years old x

 

[Tiddlypom]

I’m not surprised if im honest.

There have been mutterings about CDJ from a few posters on HHO for a while, but I’m in the dark.

Looks like unsurprisingly there are multiple threads. Another one here: https://forums.horseandhound.co.uk/threads/cdj-withdrawn-from-paris.840114/
