Wow.

Thanks for the reply.

Think the only country who can show everything live for free is France due to them being the host nation.

The director of sport for the BBC said yesterday some major events won't be shown live on the BBC due to the contract between The IOC and Discovery.

The video went straight to the FEI and has not been seen apart from that apparently. She's being investigated by both the FEI and British Equestrian Federation and British Dressage.

If it is what I am hearing it is it will be on certain niche portions of the dark web shortly.

I knew equestrians were close with their horses but it can go too far!

Apparently, she's supposed to have struck a horse on the legs several times.

Does that mean she can enter the Distressage?
