Foltaire Suffers Severe Colic Attack
Gunter
Seidel's KWPN gelding Foltaire suffered a severe colic
attack in the evening of September 7, 2000. Several
Dutch grooms who were still roaming the stables discovered
Foltaire in colic. He was immediately transported to
the universitary clinic near Horsley Park where an operation
was being considered. After a few hours Foltaire, by
Voltaire, improved slightly so an operation was no longer
necessary. The day after Foltaire was allowed to return
back to the Olympic equestrian park.
Gunter Seidel is very disappointed as the chance for
participating in the Games is as good as nil. Nevertheless
is the American Team hoping for the best.
