National trainer Kim Raisner was punished by the UIPM world association for her controversial behavior in the riding drama about modern pentathlete Annika Schleu at the Olympic Games in Tokyo.
Her athlete, on the other hand, was acquitted of allegations of excessive use of the crop and spurs, according to a statement from UIPM on Monday.
The disciplinary committee of the world association instructed Raisner to complete a training seminar on the correct handling of horses.
Only then will the Berliner be accredited again for a UIPM competition.
She also received an official reprimand.
If such an incident were repeated, as in Tokyo, she would have to expect her trainer license to be withdrawn.
Less than a month ago Schleu was on the gold course in Tokyo after two disciplines.
But while riding, she couldn't get along with the completely insecure horse she had been given. Raisner had asked the crying Berliner to use the whip with the words “Hit it right!”.
The trainer also hit the horse with her fist.
Schleu and Raisner were then accused of cruelty to animals.
Both had always rejected this.
"The monstrous behavior of Ms. Raisner cannot go unpunished," said the reasoning. At the same time, however, the committee stated about Raisner: "Your sporting and professional career is characterized by exemplary behavior, so that the events of August 6th are to be assessed as an anomaly."
