"I feel it's my duty and heart to comment on this disgrace," Cuoco wrote. "This is not Olympic showjumping. This is a disgusting, classless, abusive representation of our sport in so many ways. This team should be ashamed of themselves."
Alongside her words were photos of rider Schleu, crying while struggling to get Saint Boy to jump.

"You and your team did not do your country proud or this sport. You make us look bad," Cuoco wrote. "Shame on you and godspeed to any animal that comes in contact with you."
"Pure classless behaviour right here. Disgusting on all levels. This is not our sport. This does not represent our sport," Cuoco continued.

The OP shows the horse not cooperating with the rider, but omits the part where the rider punches the horse*.
I don't care about her, but I do hope Saint Boy is ok.
