The United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) is investigating after a video surfaced of some unsportsmanlike conduct at the Hampton Classic Horse Show in New York on September 1, 2017. Rider Jazz Johnson-Merton, Johnson & Johnson heiress, fell off her horse Joe Cool while on course. She then attempted to kick him in the stomach before lunging at him and then dragging him out of the arena. 

While the judge discussed this incident with the stewards, there was nothing in the report. The federation is currently conducting an investigation and adds that welfare and safety of horse and rider are paramount.
