Kaley Cuoco
American actress Kaley Cuoco has offered to buy a horse that was hit by a German coach during the recently concluded Tokyo Olympics.
The incident occurred during the women's modern pentathlon at the Games recently, when coach Kim Raisner was seen punching Saint Boy, as the horse refused to follow rider Annika Schleu's instructions. Cuoco, 35, who is married to horse trainer Karl Cook, took to Instagram to voice her anger over the incident.
"Name your price. I feel it's my duty and heart to comment on this disgrace...this is not Olympic show jumping. This is a disgusting, classless, abusive representation of our sport in so many ways. This team should be ashamed of themselves," Cuoco wrote.
The star of the American sitcom, The Big Bang Theory, even tagged Raisner and Schleu in her message. "You and your team did not do your county proud, or this sport. You make us look bad. Shame on you and godspeed to any animal that comes in contact with you," she wrote, adding, "This rider and her trainer are a disgrace. I'll buy that horse outright and show it the life it should have."
