The allegations against Pearson, who has won 10 Paralympic medals, are serious and have shaken the equestrian world. They involve claims of bullying, harassment, and inappropriate behaviour towards athletes and staff. These allegations have sparked a debate about the culture within British Equestrian and the need for greater accountability and transparency.

The source close to Pearson said that the suspension was a result of a “misunderstanding” and that Pearson was “completely innocent” of any wrongdoing. The source also stated that Pearson had been “working hard” to resolve the issue and that he was “confident” that he would be cleared of any wrongdoing. The source further explained that the governing body of the sport, the British Equestrian Federation (BEF), had been “unhelpful” in the investigation. The source claimed that the BEF had not provided Pearson with the full details of the investigation and had not been transparent about its process.

The ParalympicsGB team for the Paris Games has been announced, and it features an all-female dressage team. The team consists of Natasha Baker, Mari Durward-Akhurst, Sophie Wells, and Georgia Wilson. The team is set to compete in the equestrian events, which are scheduled to begin on Tuesday. **Key Points:**
