Description

The Case for Dropping Equestrian from the Olympic Games A thought-provoking examination of the equestrian sport at the Olympic Games, 'I Can't Watch Anymore' reveals a disturbing reality. The author, Julie Taylor, sheds light on the darker side of high-level competition, exposing the flaws in the sport's governance and the consequences for the horses. From the use of 'medication' to mask doping, to the prioritisation of spectacle over rules, and the erosion of the 'blood rule' to protect horses, Taylor's book chronicles the decline of equestrian sport. The author argues that the bureaucrats running the Federation Equestre Internationale (FEI) have compromised the integrity of the sport, leaving it on the brink of collapse.
