1996-nov 6 2011
Hickstead was the most amazing horse. Was a dream horse to any one in the equine world. He tried so hard to clear fences that others may have knocked down. He was not very tall like many other show jumping horses. In 2008 olympics he wont silver in the Canadian team and GOLD for the canadian individual! He had an amazing partner Eric Lamaze. Those two were a dream team. Watching those to put tears in people eyes. This summer when i was up in calgary showing me and my team went to Spruce Meadows Queen Elizabeth II cup and watched eric lamaze and and american rider. I am happy that I was able to see Hickstead one last time.
Hearing on formspring and facebook about hickstead was heartbreaking. But knowing he died right after he did something he loved put tears in my eyes.
He made a lot of canadians proud and he never let anyone down especially Eric.
He was champion. He was one in a million.
Yesterday us canadians lost one of our greatest olympic medalist horses:( its sad to say he is gone. It has put everyone in tears and anyone that rode today made their rides a tributes to him!:(
Yesterday was a sad day for everyone in the equine world. We lost one of the greatest horses on the planet.
RIP Hickstead youll be missed by all.
I dont own anything but 5 pictures I took!
