Olympic horse Saint Boy: healthy but ‘tired from competition’
The post has been republished dozens of times, with some denouncing DOSB’s silence. While some feared that the Saint Boy would continue to be used as a sporting object, others were concerned that his behavior at the Olympics had rendered the horse useless—and possibly euthanized.
But now for the first time there is an update from the comprehensive organization of the modern quintet. The organization shared two photos on Twitter. Saint Boy returned to his home in Shiga Prefecture, Japan. The horse is in good health “even though it is exhausted from the competition.” According to their own statements, the Olympic organizers have requested an update from the Minakuchi Riding Club, the owner of Saint Boy.

After the horror ride: Annika Schleu accused of animal cruelty
Saint Boy became a tragic figure in the Olympic Games. Show jumping is a specialty of modern pentathlon, but the horse and rider do not know each other. The horses are drawn to the athletes and after 20 minutes of getting to know each other, the competition begins. But Saint Boy rejected two participants, one of whom is German athlete Annika Schleu.
On his way to get the gold before jumping the show, Schlew lost his temper when Saint Boy disobeyed her and attacked her with the crop. National trainer Kim Raisner was suspended after the race for hitting a horse with her fist. Both are accused of animal cruelty. Annika Schleu has been so hated on the internet that she has deleted her Instagram account.
