Carlos Parro - The Canadian PressVERSAILLES, France — Equestrian’s governing body issued a warning to Brazilian rider Carlos Parro on Saturday for potentially causing “unnecessary discomfort" to his horse Safira after receiving evidence from an animal rights group.
“The FEI Officials have issued a yellow warning card as the action of the athlete could have caused unnecessary discomfort to the horse. Additionally, the Ground Jury has directly addressed the situation with the athlete and the chef d’Equipe of Brazil,” the FEI said in a statement. “The FEI Stewards are aware of this incident and will be vigilant at all times for any behavior that is not in line with horse welfare and are prepared to take immediate action if such behavior occurs.
"The pain this horse must be enduring is almost unimaginable,” PETA said. “The public is unlikely to accept this, as illustrated by the mass outrage over the Charlotte Dujardin abuse video.” Also Saturday, Emiliano Portale and his horse Future were eliminated during the dressage event after blood was found in the horse's mouth during post-competition checks.
