The Spin

Narrative A

As the Paris Games are about to kick off, a scandal of such magnitude further underscores the need for all equestrian events to be ditched from the Olympics. It's utterly unacceptable that the International Olympic Committee still allows horses to be abused and forced to participate in these competitions.

Guardian

Narrative B

This incident is undoubtedly shocking, mainly because Dujardin was considered a role model trainer, but there's no reason to tarnish the entire sport's credibility when someone makes a major mistake. The equestrian community has long sought to ensure that horses are treated with kindness and respect, with their welfare as the highest priority.
