For most athletes at the Paris Olympics, the accommodations are to be endured, with cardboard beds and communal bathrooms, unlike the luxurious setting for the horses at Versailles.
Horses at Versailles enjoy spacious, rubber-matted boxes with locally-sourced bedding, highlighting the emphasis on equine comfort, partially influenced by recent controversies in the equestrian world.
A video of British Olympian Charlotte Dujardin striking a horse led to her withdrawal from the Games and suspension, shedding light on the sensitivity towards animal welfare in Olympic preparations.
