“She got up, lost her temper and tried to kick the horse in the stomach,” Wynne said.

“I’m not sure she made contact, but then she trotted the horse out of the ring, in hand, and I watched her from the judge’s booth go into the schooling area to see if she was going to do something, and she didn’t,” he said.
