Equestrian NZ expresses disappointment at social media video of Sir Mark Todd’s horse abuse

Equestrian NZ has distanced itself from the behaviour of Olympic legend Sir Mark Todd, who has been videoed beating a horse with a stick. Sir Mark’s abuse was posted on social media platform TikTok, as he tried to coax his horse across a water obstacle, and the eight-time Olympian and twice eventing gold medallist has apologised for the incident.
