Full details released of rider’s continued electric spur abuse
THE FEI has released the details of Andy Kocher’s “pre-planned, deliberate and continued abuse of horses” by electric spur use.
The FEI announced in April that Kocher, who has represented the US at World Cup and Nations Cups, had been banned for 10 years, for using the spurs on horses in training and shows.
The details of the hearing have now been released. It lasted three days and featured testimonies from a number of witnesses.
