Philippe Le Jeune on Bertram Allen’s disqualification

« I think the FEI and the national federations have to take measurements at this level. There are riders who did worse things and who aren’t disqualified. The FEI lets rider start in 5* 1.60m GP who aren’t ready for this, who crash in the jumps. At this height the crack horses can’t save their riders who make faults. The FEI just let them do.

I don’t understand what the problem was here, their have to be limits but here they went to far. The spur marks are quite new to the sport. This can be explained by the new hype to clip the horses every three weeks even during the summer since 4 years. I, personally, don’t clip my horses during summer because it’s a protection against the sun. Some horses get burned and their back hurts because of this. I don’t know if people think that if they clip their horse every 3 weeks, they will become stars. I think a horse has to stay a horse.

Coming back to the spurs, maybe they could have proposed that just like Marcus Ehning in Valkenswaard, he could have started the second round without spurs. Maybe that’s a better solution than to sanction someone. Personally, I would prefer to be a horse at Bertram Allen’s or Marcus Ehning’s stable than a horse of an amateur who pushes me into the jumps »
