5:11Now PlayingVideo has emerged showing Olympic dressage star, Charlotte Dujardin, whipping a horse excessively in what horse welfare officials have described as "unacceptable".
Roly Owers, chief executive of World Horse Welfare, told Sky News the whip does have a role in training horses but there is a "clear code of conduct".
He said the horse's welfare should be put first and "treated with respect and that's unfortunately not what we saw here."
Ms Dujardin has since withdrawn from taking part in the Olympics, saying the video showed her "making an error of judgement".
WARNING: This video shows a horse being hit which viewers may find distressing.
