A video of Charlotte Dujardin appearing to whip a horse which has led to her withdrawal from the Paris Olympics has emerged.

Dujardin, Britain's joint-most decorated female Olympian, pulled out of the 2024 Olympics after footage emerged showing her 'making an error of judgement'.

She has been suspended over the controversial incident that took place four years ago.

The clip was sent to the International Federation for Equestrian Sports (FEI) on July 22 - just two days before the start of the Paris 2024 Games.

The video in question has since been aired on Good Morning Britain, allegedly showing her whipping a horse 24 times.

She can be seen striking its leg with a whip while the horse is being ridden by a young girl.

On Tuesday, the 39-year-old released a statement, but she did not directly address what she had done in the video.

But she admitted that there was 'no excuse' for her behaviour and that she was 'deeply ashamed' of the error of judgement.

The statement read: "What happened was completely out of character and does not reflect how I train my horses or coach my pupils, however there is no excuse.

"I am deeply ashamed and should have set a better example in that moment.

"I am sincerely sorry for my actions and devastated that I have let everyone down, including Team GB, fans and sponsors.

"I will cooperate fully with the FEI, British Equestrian Federation and British Dressage, and will not be commenting further until the process is complete."

An investigation from the British Equestrian Federation and British Dressage has been launched over Dujardin's conduct.

Her suspension prevents the six-time dressage medallist from competing in any competitions or events under the FEI's jurisdiction and those run by a national federation.

Dujardin was set to compete in both the individual dressage and team event at this summer's Olympics.
