Why did the FEI’s abuse case against Andrew McConnon fall apart?

On the back of the Andrew McConnon case, Pippa Cuckson, who's reported on FEI disciplinary proceedings for over 40 years, believes the procedure is flawed

Good in depth Pippa Cuckson article regarding the reasons why Parra got a far more severe ban than McCannon for seemingly similar accusations.

Fairly balanced opinion from Richard Davison I think. And as I would expect from him.

Extra steps needed to ensure abusive riders change their methods, says Richard Davison

Rider and equestrian law specialist Richard Davison calls for extra steps to ensure riders suspended for horse abuse change their training methods

I haven't heard of this rider before but reading the report it makes me wonder if he/his father's stud is associated in any way with Helgstrand?

Did Anders Hoeck at any time train under Helgstrand does anyone know?

The poor tech delegate must have gone thru hell since 2023.

I feel extremely sorry for the TD, who now still has to face another appeal against the courts decision to find her not guilty of the things the Hoeck family accused her of….
At least the Danish equestrian are or seem to be standing firm beside her….

Riders should possibly be careful about appearing to attempt to hound officials out of the sport, if they want it to continue. The idea that they would prefer less scrutiny does not look good, let's say.

To say this case is appearing to hound officials seems to be an understatement….they have taken her to court and refuse to accept the courts decision….
I hope when their second yes second appeal to the higher court hopefully is also thrown out, that they are banned for much longer than a year….

Sounds like an entitled little brat, with daddy trying to cover up his behaviour by forcing the poor official through court. Feels "we are more important than you and have £££'s"

If he was riding nicely, he wouldn't have been reported
