if she couldn’t realise her horse had a obvious problem with his balance she shouldn’t be riding as a professional. more for the horse having a big heart to make such a huge effort to finish! what’s her excuse

I agree. What she did was wrong, I still believe a rider of that level HAD to know the horse was lame, however, only she knows what she felt and made her decisions based on that. I feel that as this was not premeditated, she should definitely be punished but not banned for life and not carry the stigma of “horse abuser” with her.

I’m glad they finally made a decision, that’s all. It’s not like the can bring Le Samouri back no matter what they do, but I hope this will make future riders more aware of their horse’s condition as they ride.
