2000 Olympic Games
Everest, Robert Dovers' first choice in the 2000 United States Equestrian Team Olympic Selection Trials, has been disqualified from the trials for the 2000 Sydney Olympics.
On Tuesday, May 16, Everest was ridden by Guenter Seidel, which is not permitted in accordance with the Selection Procedures. As a result of this violation of the selection criteria, Everest has been disqualified from the selection trials which conclude on May 20-21 in Loxahatchee, FL.
Dover is still eligible to compete with his other qualified horse, Rainier, as the disqualification applies only to the horse/rider combination involved.
