Hickstead tribute rip


Eric Lamaze's great showjumper Hickstead has died in Verona. As a mark of respect to the reigning Olympic champions, the riders asked that the competition be halted and all the competitors then filed into the arena -- many in tears -- for a minute's silence and for tributes to be paid. Hickstead was one of the greatest horses the sport has ever seen - as well as taking individual gold in Beijing in 2008 and countless grands prix and Nations Cup victories, he jumped four clear rounds in the final of the World Equestrian Games in 2010.

"Spruce Meadows invites fans of the great champion Hickstead to pay tribute to the recently departed stallion at Spruce Meadows beginning Tuesday, November 8th through November 13, 2011. Further information can be found at www.sprucemeadows.com " I was choked and shocked when I heard the news this morning of Hickstead's sudden passing. I'm not a fan of tribute videos. That said, Eric Lamaze and Hickstead have been HUGE for Canadian equestrian and I am really shocked by the news... I was never swept away with the "Lamazing" movement some of my fellow riders were but I always respected Eric and his horse. They were a joy to watch. You could always anticipate a good ride when they entered the Spruce International Ring. I met Eric at Spruce during a competition and can honestly say he's a very nice person and my best wishes go to him and Hickstead's whole team. I've experienced only mild equine hardship in comparison and know how difficult that was for me so my heart really goes out to them. I do not own the music or any of the clips. Sad day for Canada.

Eric Lamaze's great showjumper Hickstead has died in Verona. The pair had been taking part in the fourth round of the World Cup and had just completed their round when the 15-year-old stallion collapsed. The competition was halted as the horse ambulance was brought in and Canadian Eric Lamaze was led out of the arena. As a mark of respect to the reigning Olympic champions, the riders asked that the competition be halted and all the competitors then filed into the arena -- many in tears -- for a minute's silence and for tributes to be paid. Hickstead was one of the greatest horses the sport has ever seen - as well as taking individual gold in Beijing in 2008 and countless grands prix and Nations Cup victories, he jumped four clear rounds in the final of the World Equestrian Games in 2010. The press office at Jumping Verona issued the following statement: "Today at 15.25, as he was leaving the arena after his successful jumping round Hickstead, the horse ridden by Canadian Eric Lamaze, suddenly collapsed. The veterinary services were immediately in attendance, but unfortunately the horse was already dead. An autopsy to determine the cause of death is scheduled in the coming days. Veronafiere, Organising Committee, were fully supportive of the request of the riders not to continue the competition and would like to express their affection and love towards one of the greatest horses in the history of the sport and his rider Eric Lamaze.

As many of you know the world of horses and show jumping have suffered a great loss, the loss of Hickstead; A 16h Dutch Warmblood stallion who has been the best friend and champion of Eric Lamaze.

I have been lucky enough in my life to have the amazing champion of a horse walk right in front of me, and Ive seen him bring Eric to many championships. Sometimes live or on the other side of the TV but Im screaming "GO HICKSTEAD!" at the top of my lungs. We love you Hickstead! ♥ Rest In Paradise Hickstead. You will be loved and missed forever as you are one of the greatest horses of all time.

Our thoughts and condolences go out to Eric, the Fleischhacker family, and Eric's entire team. As fans we can be thankful that some of their greatest moments together took place at Spruce Meadows, including their incredible 2011 season, where they firmly established themselves as #1 in the world in the Rolex Rankings.

Just to clear any confusion, my name is Meagan Reader. Also I did make this video myself and I would really appreciate it if you gave me credit if you put this on your website. This was made 7 months ago purely in the love of this amazing combo, and now it means so much more than that. Thank you everyone for your heartfelt comments. He will forever be missed and in our hearts. Please remember him while he was alive, not his tragic passing on. Thank you all. This is just a small tribute i made for my favourite horse and rider combo! Eric Lamaze and Hickstead. They are both such big inspirations to me and I hope to be as good as Eric some day! Hickstead is my favourite horse in the world (second next to my own pony of course) and getting to watch him compete is such an honor! I just felt like making a little tribute for them because well, yeah , they are my idols :)

HD, read, comment. ♥ rest in peace hickstead, you were a legend and a spectacular horse, you will be missed. _______________________________________________ Today, we lost a legend. Hickstead was a top horse, he was the greatest horse of our era. Today(11/6/11), Hickstead collapsed after Sunday's event in Italy. It was a 13 fence course with a single rail down. Hickstead was a 15-year-old Dutch Warmblood stallion. The event was suspended at the request of riders, and Lamaze's fellow-competitors gathered in the Verona arena to pay their respects to one of the greatest horses of all time, and to support Eric in his moment of loss with a minute's silence. An autopsy has been scheduled to find out the cause of his death but they think he died of a heart attack. "This is the best horse in the world, in my opinion, and to show it to all these fans here is special." -Eric Lamaze Rest In Peace, Hickstead.

REAAD?! first off i know at the begining of the video it says 12 year old dutch warmblood stallion, this video was filmed in 2008, which was 3 years ago, i know he was 15. This absolutley amazing horse was an inspiration to many show jumpers and his death was tragic, and he shouldn't have ended like that, but he died doing something he loved, which is a positive i suppose, there is a video on youtube, showing what happend, he finished his course, and just collapsed, and he looked like he was fitting in the video, he couldn't stand back up, and sadly died in the ring. Nothing or anyone will ever be like him, he was truly an amazing horse, and i would of died to see him in person! RIP Beautiful, Sleep Tight♥ I know the video is rubbish, but its a small tribute to this mighty horse. No bad comments will be tolerated, they will be deleted streight away and you will be blocked.

November 6th 2011, I got the news that Hickstead had collapsed and died. Eric Lamaze & Hickstead were the absolute best team out there. That horse did everything foor Eric. I bet he'd jump the moon if he could. Eric, Hicksteads owners, The Canadian Equestrian team, and the Canadian Equestrian community, suffered a major loss. We lost a part of what made show jumping amazing. I loved turning on the TV to see Eric & Hickstead jumping at Spruce Meadows.. but I never will again. This video isn't very good, but I had to make one. I had to make a video showign what an amazing horse this is. Hickstead isn't gone. No one will just 'forget' him. He's too amazing. This little stallion was the perfect horse, and I am terribly crushed by his death. I cried my eyes out making this video, and I hope it touches some of you.

Hickstead's Death 6-11-11 RIP


At a competition on November 6, 2011 Hickstead goes does with Eric Lamaze on his back. Seeing that horse, the fear in his eyes and his desperate attempt to get back up but then to slowly just lay back down and seize all movement. Watching all those people work frantically to try to save him. Then seeing Eric start to break down as the god awful truth began to settle in. This truly is a great tragedy. My heart goes out to Eric, his team, and his family. Forever in my prayers. Hickstead may you rest in peace.

RIP, A Tribute To Hickstead [the greatest horse in the world]


**PLEASE read this descirption, not for me but for HICKSTEAD, a truly MAGNIFICENT horse** I know in the video it says it looks like it could have been a heart attack, i'm not 100% sure if that is true. RIP Hickstead, a true ledgend, the greatest horse in the world. Sadly died on the 6th of november 2011, doing what he loved, show jumping. At just 15, the dark bay, dutch warmblood stallion was a horse at the top of his game. Vets rushed in to assist the horse, who had completed his round with world number one ranked rider Eric Lamaze, but they were too late. An autopsy will be held later this week. The competition was cancelled at the request of Lamaze's fellow riders and one minute's silence held for the greatest horse of his generation. Hickstead had won over £2 million to date and was by no means approaching the end of his career. He was widely tipped to recapture gold at the London 2012 Olympics. Last year, he won individual bronze at the World Equestrian Games, where he was the only horse to jump clear for all four riders in the contest's unique horse-swapping finale, and last month he won the £185000 Spruce Meadows Masters in Calgary, the sport's richest outdoor tournament. HRH Princess Haya, president of the International Equestrian Federation, said: "Hickstead really was a horse in a million and my heart goes out to Eric and everyone connected with this wonderful horse.

[He was a legend, and we will never forget him] Dislikers, real mature. A terrible tragedy for all of the equestrian world happened today, Hickstead, a fantastic show jumper, had a heart attack after performing yet another great jumping round, the boy died proud. Hickstead was a horse like no other and there is not exception, no equivalent, no horse that could match up to him. And may Hickstead now join the great team of show jumpers, galloping their heart free among the clouds now. RIP Stix ♥ A great article of Hickstead: Eric Lamaze's stallion Hickstead, whose resume included gold- and silver-medal performances at the 2008 Summer Olympics and a seemingly endless list of triumphs at Spruce Meadows, collapsed and died during Sunday's Rolex FEI World Cup event in Verona, Italy. "It's just very, very sad for that to happen to the horse, to happen to Eric, to happen to the sport," said Mac Cone, a member of Canada's silver-medal jumping team at the 2008 Olympics, where Lamaze and Hickstead also won gold in individual jumping. "I think he's the best show-jumper I've ever seen in my life. It's too bad it had to come to an end." According to a statement released by the Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI), Lamaze and Hickstead had just completed a 13-fence track with a single rail down in Sunday's event in Italy when the 15-year-old Dutch Warmblood collapsed and died. Attempts to revive the horse were not successful. The event was stopped, with other competitors gathering <b>...</b>

Hickstead Tribute- RIP


There is not much that can be said about Hickstead except one word: amazing. This horse was one of the best in the show-jumping world, making a name for himself and for his rider and best friend, Eric Lamaze. Hickstead became so great that he will go down in history alongside Big Ben as one of the best equestrian horses in history. Hickstead and Lamaze conquered so much in a fairly short time. My thoughts and heart go out to Eric Lamaze as he mourns his partner and friend. May Hickstead rest in peace and know how much the world loves him. The show-jumping world was brighter with him in it. We love you, Hickstead, now and forever.

You need to watch this in HD. I am so sad that the video quality is so bad.. :( The footage belongs to the rightful owners. So, this is a tribute to the best team, Eric Lamaze and Hickstead. Yes, Hickstead was a fantastic horse but I admire Eric so much for his perseverance and courage. He is the one who found Hickstead, he didn't give up even if it was really hard and he made him a champion. These two had such a strong bond, you could see it that they trusted each other. They wanted to win and they worked hard to achieve what they strived for. Hickstead was more than a talented horse, he was exceptional. He was a champion and his heart was as big as the jump he flew over. We love you Eric and Hickstead ♥

Homage To Hickstead: 'We Will Never Forget'


Hello everyone :) Hope everyone's doing okay. So, as some of you knew, I had been working on a tribute to Hickstead that sadly passed away last November. I started this video I don't know how many times this past week but it just never felt right - because of the music, the clips that didn't match together as I wanted to honour Hickstead as he deserved. Then I realized I was just never capable of it - when I managed to finish it, I just had to accept that. This was a very difficult video for me to make, if not THE most difficult. I've never done a tribute in my video experience until now. I cried while I was making it. I could barely see what I was doing at some points, and I'm crying right now while I'm writing this because I feel like a failure, and I'm not ashamed to say it. Hickstead deserved so much more. It's harsh. But anyways. My heart also goes to Eric Lamaze and the people whose lives were touched by this horse. They lost a great friend and partner. Rest in peace, Hickstead. Our hearts are with you. I hope you are happy and that you like this video wherever you are :') Soph. _________________________________ Music "Flowers For a Ghost" by Thriving Ivory The music nor the footage is mine.

RIP Hickstead {Tribute}


Hickstead probably died from a rupture of a blood vaissel who caused an hemorraghie and caused the heart attack : "serait mort d'une crise cardiaque ou à la suite de la rupture d'un vaisseau sanguin, selon le Dr Yves Rossier, professeur à la Faculté de médecine vétérinaire de l'Université de Montréal." Has a canadian I was very sad to learn this. Hickstead, 15 year old Stallion. Eric Lamazes Horse died in Italie today : November 6th 2011, during the: nearly faultless 13-fence course at the Rolex FEI World Cup in Verona, Italy, when the 15-year-old horse abruptly collapsed and died. "We finished our round, I circled and was leaving the ring, and he collapsed and died of an apparent heart attack," Lamaze said in a news release. "It is the most tragic thing that has ever happened. We had him until he was 15, and we had a great time together. He was the best horse in the world. We are all devastated." But no further information on the exact cause of the death. The event was then cancelled, in homage of Hickstead and Eric Lamaze... Please comment this video and support Eric Lamaze, He was spose to compet in the FEI Event at the Royals in Toronto on November 9th, but has I don't know if he was riding Hickstead, Eric Lamaze probably wont run this.
