LeMieux Statement
As a brand, LeMieux is rooted in a love of horses. All riders supported by LeMieux agree to a code of conduct for animal welfare which aligns with our values, and this is unconditional. The recently released video of Charlotte Dujardin features conduct that does not adhere to this code or our values. Whilst we respect Charlotte’s decision to take responsibility for this incident and withdraw from the Paris Olympics, LeMieux has taken the decision to end our sponsorship.
Over the past decade, we have worked closely with Charlotte and witnessed her contribution to the sport of dressage. It is crucial to remember that behind it all, Charlotte is a real person, facing unprecedented pressures and challenges. We hope the coverage of this story can be a force for greater good and improve horse welfare in future.
