Olympic Ferro to Return to Lamers and Van der Goor
December 5, 2002
 The
results of the vet check conducted on November 16, 2002,
carries severe consequences for the future of breeding
and competition stallion Olympic Ferro.
The results of the vet check by veterinaries Van Ooijen
and Welling were sent to Coby van Baalen's lawyer. The
vet check discovered the following facts. Despite lightly
swollen hocks from kicking his legs against the stable
walls, the old tendon injury on his front right leg
was still there. Ferro was detected with this tendon
injury right after the Olympic Games of Sydney and had
to ondergo two years of revalidation. Ferro made his
come back on the competition scene in 2002 at the Dutch
Dressage Championships but turned lame again at the
World Equestrian Games in September 2002.
The vets of the vet check mention that a recovery period
of half a year to one whole year will be necessary for
Ferro. Complete functional revalidation is uncertain
as this injury has the tendency to easily return.
The owners Lamers and Van der Goor conclude, inforced
with the vet check report, that it's no longer necessary
for Ferro to stay at Coby van Baalen's stable. Lamers
and Van der Goor did not comment on how they wanted
to realize Ferro's revalidation or if he would be breeding
next season or not.
Ferro's owners will now return to court to reclaim
their stallion legally.
