Brazilian Equestrian Carlos Parro Warned for Horse Misconduct at Paris Olympics

Parro's use of the prohibited 'Rollkur' technique has raised significant animal welfare concerns.

The Federation for Equestrian Sports issued a yellow warning card to Parro for causing 'unnecessary discomfort' to his horse, Safira.
Photos from PETA showed Parro hyper-flexing Safira's neck, compromising the horse's breathing.
The FEI Ground Jury and Brazilian team officials have addressed the incident directly with Parro.
The warning follows heightened scrutiny of horse welfare after the suspension of British rider Charlotte Dujardin.
FEI officials remain vigilant and prepared to take immediate action against any further misconduct.
