Gestion Janssen Survives Colic Attack
November 29, 2002
 Gestion
Janssen, Imke Bartels' only Grand Prix horse since the
retirement of Olympic Barbria, suffered from a colic
attack previous weekend, but survived this most feared
equine disease. Janssen was detected in his stall with
colic and was almost immediatemy trailered to the veterinary
clinic of Utrecht in The Netherlands.
For a while, an operation seemed inevitable but after
two days of observation, the colic slowly faded away
and Janssen got soon released from the clinic. The 11-year
old Gestion Janssen (by Fierant xx x Rasant) is back
in training doing light flatwork. Imke Bartels had to
cancel her CDI-W Stockholm entry and is not certain
if she will compete him again in the 2002 world cup
qualifiers. "It's vital that Janssen will be fine
again. His health is the most important thing,"
Imke Schellekens/Bartels commented.
