Germany’s Annika Schleu was in first place after the first two pentathlon events: fencing and swimming. Her fortunes changed dramatically when it came to jumping. Her mount, Saint Boy, refused to jump.
To ensure “fairness”, competitors are randomly assigned 20 min before competing. Six riders finished with 0 points after struggling with uncooperative horses. Several riders were thrown from their horses.
The horses are sick and tired of this.
After the remaining events, she finished in 31st place in a field of 36.
And the horse Saint boy becomes a meme:

Her coach Kim Raisner urged her to hit the horse. Raisner herself punched the horse once above the back leg.
The International Modern Pentathlon Union said it reviewed the footage and issued a statement:
The UIPM Executive Board (EB) has given a black card to the Germany team coach Kim Raisner, disqualifying her from the remainder of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.
The EB reviewed video footage that showed Ms Raisner appearing to strike the horse Saint Boy, ridden by Annika Schleu, with her fist during the riding discipline of the women’s modern pentathlon competition.
Her actions were deemed to be in violation of the UIPM competition rules, which are applied to all recognised modern pentathlon competitions including the Olympic Games.
The EB decision was made today at the Tokyo Stadium before the resumption of the men’s modern pentathlon competition.
Raisner is a former modern pentathlete who competed at the 2004 Olympics in Athens.
