Kaley Cuoco is known for being an animal lover, horse enthusiast and equestrian showjumper,
Cuoco is married to professional equestrian Karl Cook, has been riding horses since she was a teen.
She heard of a troubling incident that took place during the Tokyo Olympics.
The Aug 7 incident, in which German pentathlete Annika Schleu appeared to have a teary meltdown after her horse, Saint Boy, refused to jump, and coach Kim Raisner struck him on his hindquarters with her fist.
“I feel it’s my duty and heart to comment on this disgrace. This is not Olympic show jumping. This is a disgusting classless abusive representation of our sport in so many ways. This team should be ashamed of themselves. You and your team did not do your country proud or this sport. You make us look bad. Shame on you and godspeed to any animal that comes in contact with you. This rider and her ‘trainer’ are a disgrace. I’ll buy that horse outright and show it the life it should have. Name your price”.
