This pretty much sums up the pentathlon for me. I actually saw this horse. I would have punched him, as well. The horse decided it had enough jumps for the day. To be fair, the German rider was familiar with the horses antics and could have chosen a different horse.

The German modern pentathlon coach was disqualified and won’t be part of the men’s individual final at the Tokyo Olympics after she hit a horse with her fist earlier in the Games.
Coach Kim Raisner, according to Reuters, hit a horse with her fist during Friday’s show jumping in Tokyo and urged a German rider to “really hit” the horse when it didn’t want to jump.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
