Anky van Grunsven Back In Hospital For Surgery
September 2, 2003
 Anky
van Grunsven is back in the hospital, but this time
not because of an accident. She is having the metal
plate removed which was fixed to her bone to keep it
steady during the healing process. Van Grunsven fell
off her horse Gestion Joker almost one year ago and
had a severe thigh bone fracture. A metal fixation plate
was attached to her bone in the hospital and Van Grunsven
had to recover five months from the accidents. In the
meantime, her partner Sjef Janssen trained her horses.
Van Grunsven was back in the saddle and competing in
June, when she won the 2003 Dutch Dressage Championships.
Due to an injury of her horse Gestion Salinero, Van
Grunsven withdrew from the Dutch Dressage team for the
2003 European Championships. Due to the operation which
is taking place today, Van Grunsven will be out again
for the next couple of weeks. She hopes to be competing
again in the winter.
