(Reuters) â American showjumper Andrew Kocher has received a 10-year suspension for using electric spurs on his horses, the International Equestrian Federation (FEI) said on Thursday.
Kocher, who has represented the U.S. internationally at the Nations Cup, was also disqualified from eight events between June 2018 and November 2019, fined 10,000 Swiss Francs ($11,000) and ordered to pay costs.
An FEI investigation was opened into Kocher after a whistleblower alleged he used an electric shock device at several competitions.
FEI regulations state that subjecting a horse to any kind of electric shock is considered as horse abuse.
