RIP Hickstead

Just an addition this is what I mean by putting ''effort'' into his jumping...like over the standard.

I was lucky enough to see Eric and Hickstead compete at Spruce Meadows multiple times this summer... An amazing team! So sad :(

Unbelievable. How old was he anyway?

I am truly shocked by Hickstead's sudden passing. Canada and the whole world has lost a horse of unparalleled greatness. There is an immense void in my heart.

Hickstead was 15 years old.

Stallions often don't live a long life.

I was heartbroken when I watched the footage. What a horrible thing to happen.

So sad,he was a beautiful horse to watch,true athlete.May he RIP

I can't believe that the vultures are out all ready,PETA followers are already spewing there animal cruelty comments

I've never heard of that.. o.o At my last barn, my trainer had two stallions in their late 30s.
