Raisner was disqualified from the 2020 Summer Olympics after punching a horse which refused to jump for German rider Annika Schleu. She also instructed Schleu herself to hit the horse, allegedly using the words "really hit it".[3] The sport's governing body stated that it 'had reviewed video footage that showed Ms Raisner appearing to strike the horse Saint Boy'.[4]
