Former The Big Bang Theory star Kaley Cuoco has offered to buy the horse at the centre a controversy coming out of the modern pentathlon during the Olympics last week. Olympic watchers and animal lovers across the world were stunned when German coach Kim Raisner was booted out of the Games for punching the horse ridden by Annika Schleu.
Schleu was in tears as the horse was clearly spooked and failed to make any jumps during equestrian component of the five-part modern pentathlon. Schleu, who finished fourth in Rio, was in tears as her horse Saint Boy went rogue, unable to convince him to get around the course and over any jumps. The German star was in the lead with a gold medal in her sights heading into the equestrian section having won both the first two events but it wasn’t long before her hopes of Olympic glory were ripped away. Schleu didn’t register any points and crashed to last place.
But while some also criticised Schleu for how hard she was whipping the horse, the German coach was booted out of the event. “The EB reviewed video footage that showed Ms Raisner appearing to strike the horse Saint Boy, ridden by Annika Schleu, with her fist during the Riding discipline of the Women’s Modern Pentathlon competition,” a statement from the governing body of world pentathlon UIPM said.
