Anky van Grunsven to Compete at 2003 Dutch Dressage
Championships
June 10, 2003
Anky
van Grunsven will be competing in the 2003 Dutch Dressage
Championships next weekend. Van Grunsven has entered
both Gestion Krack C (by Flemmingh) and Gestion Salinero
(by Salieri) for the show in Park Brakkestijn in Nijmegen.
Anky has been back in the saddle for only several weeks,
and she is already riding three hours a day. Her first
ride, since breaking her leg in February, was on 20-year
old Gestion Bonfire. Although Anky is still limping
when she is walking, riding Krack and Salinero is no
problem.
Sjef Janssen took over the training of Anky's horses
while she was recovering from the accident. Yet Anky
did not entirely disappear from the scene, as she focussed
on the training of her students in the meantime. Many
of them will be competing at the 2003 Dutch Dressage
Championships: Seth Boschman, Christa Laarakkers, Hans
Peter Minderhout, Dominique Filion, Tineke Bartels,
Anne Franssen, Edward Gal, Joyce Heuitink, Mieke de
Kok, Imke Schellekens, Arjen Teeuwissen, Vera Zegwaard;
Dominique Filion, Tommie Visser, Sonja Gademann, Stephanie
Peters, and Johan Rockx.
