USEF Substitutes Traveling Reserve for U.S. Olympic Eventing Team for Rio 2016 Olympic Games
Lexington, Ky. - The United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) has made a substitution to the U.S. Olympic Eventing Team Traveling Reserve. Maya Black has withdrawn Dawn and Jonathan Dofelmier's Doesn't Play Fair due to veterinary concerns. The gelding is expected to make a full recovery and Black looks forward to a return in the 2017 season.
The following combination will now serve as the traveling reserve:
Lynn Symansky (Middleburg, Va.) and The Donner Syndicate, LLC's Donner, a 2003 Thoroughbred gelding
Further information regarding the U.S. Olympic Eventing Team selection process can be found on USEF.org. All nominations to the 2016 U.S. Olympic Team are subject to approval by the United States Olympic Committee.
The USEF International High Performance Programs are generously supported by the USET Foundation, USOC, and USEF Sponsors and Members. Without the support of these organizations and individuals, it would not be possible to support U.S. athletes. The USEF is especially grateful to individuals who give generously of their time and money to support the equestrian teams.
