Following
the footsteps of Johan Hinnemann in his recognition
as "Trainer of the Year", Sjef Janssen already has to
shift back one gear and stay on the sideline instead
of in the saddle. Sjef was operated on a fistel at the
end of his spine and is now needs quite a longe time
to recover. "The fistel has been there for 22 years
but I always ignored it. It got bigger and more painful,
so the time had come for an operation," he states. The
recovery forces him to take it more easy and that's
why the 2000 Trainer of the Year, a title aarded to
him at the World Cup Dressage Final, decided to take
a break. "Anky has to show at Monaco next weekend, and
we decided to take some extra days and make the competition
into a little vacation."
