[mig189189189]

Cool Action Ride!

[Gabihorse]

whats the name of the music?

[ZiggyLover222]

i dont even know what to say. this is by far my absolutely favourite video and tribute to the best horse and rider in the world. Rest in Peace and Paradise Hickstead. no horse deserves to anymore than you do. i will always remember you as the greatest most unbelievable horse in the world. you were more than a champion. you were a hero <3

[NathaliePool]

Ez igazán szép és megható, mivel gyönyörű tisztelgés Hickstead előtt. Ő kivételes volt, egy igazi csoda......

[dryanbtv]

I first found this video during the WEG in Kentucky in 2010. I loved it then and I love it now (I've have probably watched it 100 times). It's really well done and captures what is special about Eric and Hickstead's story. It might seem a bit odd to take comfort from a YouTube video, but upon learning of Hickstead's death, I went looking for this video and it really helps to see him in action at the top of his game. Great work. Just regret the circumstances that led me to seek it out again.

[Sweetrubytuesday]

YOU KNOW WHY THOSE PEOPLE ARE IN THE STAND

I will tell you why there not here to see the other horses there here to see him a true hero R.I.P. you will never be forgotten I PROMOSE

[Sweetrubytuesday]

[06Carleen]

Handsome Hickstead R.I.P...you brought Erik from the lowest of lows to the highest of highs. You made Canada so very proud . You were a true hero and yet you never spoke a word. I will miss your beauty and courage, but wil never forget all you did. May you always run and jump the clouds in heaven

[sakurachaan96]

3:01-3:11 eric smiles..... Rest In Peace champ... You live in forever our heart!

[sallymeredith]

Eric's smile at the end KILLS me everytime

[AnimatedCrime]

You brought him out of his darkness With your kind and loving hand He came galloping for you in your darkness And let you ride on the wind He brought you to the heavens And together you soared through the clouds And now he has let you off gently So that he can take off for the stars He carried you just long enough To make your dreams come true Now he's given you his wings Because he knows you've learned to fly For Hickstead, the horse who made me believe in miracles.

[xpauline67]

RIP champion, tu restera a tous jamais gravé ds nos coeur, tu est le champion des champions tu as fini ton parcours , comme un champion tu t'es battu jusquau bout , mais tu es un champion et mon idole alors repose en paix, au paradis des chevaux car tu le mérite amplement

RIP Hickstead♥

[xpauline67]

@xpauline67 trop de champion ds mon message :) mais c'est parceque je pense vraiment qu’il en ai un que j'ai mis ce même mot autrant de fois :p

[56misscheval]

Si pleurer faisait mourir, je serais morte depuis dimanche dernier, si n'avoir qu'une seule pensée faisait mourir, je serais morte depuis dimanche, si tout simplement, ne penser qu'à un grand champion qui nous a quitté, je serais morte aussi, tu es devenu la seule chose à quoi je pense depuis dimanche, que s'est il passé? Pourquoi as tu du nous quitter comme cela à la sortie de ton parcours, en direct sur équidia :'( Je t'aime pour toujours, repose en paix petit Champion <3<3

[jaymigirl]

A beautiful tribute. Thank you for sharing it.

[MEBRGIRL]

I know this was done because of the gold medal, but it is by far the best tribute I have seen to both Eric and Hickstead.

Bittersweet.

RIP Hickstead and condolences to Éric and all involved with this incredible horse

[TheBeautifulRose18]

Rest in peace Hickstead, I will stand up for you, the champion!

[blackday44]

Truly one of the few real partnership sports between animals and humans.....

[BicheBaya]

Une vidéo magnifique... pour un cheval et un cavalier qui l'était également...

Merci, mille fois merci a éric et hickstead de nous avoir fait réver, merci pour tous ces moments de joies !! Hickstead c'était, c'est, et restera une légende... Je me souviendrai toujours de ce cheval extraordinnaire...

Repose en paix champion, tu l'as mérité <3

[horsechik]

this is legitimately my favourite youtube video ever <3

[quinceygirl19]

Rip Hickstead! You will always be in our hearts as the best show jumper ever! We love you!

[MExJUDITH]

Rest in peace, Hickstead....

[MaddieLovesChinga]

RIP HICKSTEAD <3.

[ATLsarah]

I've seen a pluthera of videos about Hickstead, but this one is truly special.

[MyxThinks]

Merveilleux cavalier, merveilleux cheval, merveilleux couple.

Toutes mes pensées vont à Eric Lamaze et à sa groom, terribles épreuves à surmonter..

Stand up for the champions, Hickstead, ou de loin le meilleur cheval de ces dernières années.

RIP Hickstead, ♥

[Temaku1]

RIP HIckstead . One of the greatest horses in history, you will never be forgotten ♥

[Vanthus]

You know, this could even happen to the most athletic human in the world. Shit happens and to bad it was to the best. But what a way to go, I would have it no other way. God said that is the best horse, time for me to have him. So he went back up to his beloved creator.

[EmiLuvsStanley]

finally a video that really shows how amazing Hickstead was! he was truly an amazing, inspirational horse and this video shows it in a good way rather than all slow and soppy! RIP HICKSTEAD! you will never be forgotten!<3

[longitudeandlatitude]

@EmiLuvsStanley Thank you, that means a lot... he was an amazing horse and truly a part of history. The consummate athlete.

[dryanbtv]

@EmiLuvsStanley I agree that this is a fabulous video. And frankly, I haven't bothered with many other videos because this one is superior to any others I have watched. But to be somewhat fair to the others, I think we should keep in mind that this video was created when Eric and Hickstead had just come off of their Olympic triumph.  A much different and happier time to commemorate than Hickstead's tragic death.

[Vanthus]

Amen!

[Pouladora]

Hickstead will stay forever in our hearts !

[Vanthus]

Another wonderful video! Amazing!

[JumperTy2005]

HEART! x 2 - rider and horse! Amazing!

[katheloveblanco]

Rip Hickstead

[xHopikoune]

Rip Hickstead! Courage à Eric Lamaze!

[LondonsPlayboy]

Rest in peace Hickstead, you beautiful, talented horse. You have touched our hearts and will stay with us forever xxxx

[GEMWARD13]

To Hickstead the best horse ever, oh my gosh you will be missed. To Eric, watching you and Hickstead brought so much joy and happiness. You will always be remembered as the greatest team. You made us so proud here in Canada. My heart goes out to you Eric and to the Owners.... May Hickstead rest peacefully knowing he was such a beautiful horse. GEMWARD13

[babzisamazen]

A million words would not bring you back. I know because I've tried, and neither will a million tears. I know because I've cried. Rest In Paradise, Hickstead

[Im2equestrian4u]

Hickstead, you were one of the greatest athletes the world has ever known. You will be greatly missed, but never forgotten our boy. We love you. <33 Make us proud in Heaven just like you did here on Earth.

[lavinder41]

Hickstead, you gave us so many proud moments. You leave us to fly Solo, soar with ease. RIP

[PrettyBlueOverYou]

The way he smiles at the end just kills me...

[HrsLvr47578]

Thumbs up if you started crying and stood up for the champions <3

RIP Hickstead

[ZiggyLover222]

[MalwinLover]

Rest In Peace Hickstead you were not just a great horse, you were the BEST!

[Pepe9612]

Ráz a hideg ha ezt a videót nézem :/ az egyik legszebb száp a sportolókra tekintettel s most .. egy ló videójára megy aki már nem lehet köztünk R.I.P Hickstead :/ :'( <3

[piet2005]

What a beautiful tribute to a fantastic horse and rider. You can see the love and devotion of Eric for his horse and that's a wonderfull thing to see.

I hope he will see this video and allways reminds his horse like the champion he was!

Many sincere condoleances from Holland!

[Froggiz066]

Stand up for the Champion, Stand up for Hickstead ♥

[caliewoods]

I will miss hickstead as well

[AlbertaRoseStables]

Crying a little bit right now... Somehow it feels like although there will always be great athletes, there will NEVER be another Hickstead. This year's poppy is worn for you, my idol and my dream.

[annexpaardjes]

rest in peace

[pyschogambitable]

I always loved how Eric, after all the rounds that I've seen them do together, would point to Hickstead, signaling that it was all him. He knew that he had an unbeatable partner and I can only imagine how it must feel to have his friend, partner, and four-legged brother snatched away. RIP Hickstead and I truly hope all the best for Eric in light of this tragedy

[longitudeandlatitude]

@pyschogambitable So true. He gave so much trust to his horse and you could see in every stride how much trust Hickstead had in him. Watching them was something else, it was an adrenaline rush

[ecp339]

I can't get enough of this video. The sport of showjumping lost a great athlete and will not be the same without the great Hickstead to grace the ring. Hickstead was an incredible horse. A once in a lifetime horse.  With Eric in the tack the pair were unstoppable. It was a privilege to be able to watch such an amazing horse-rider team. His legend will live on. Condolences to Eric, and his team. The equine community stands up for the champions. RIP.

[balein23]

Stand up and applaud for the CHAMPION! <3 Hick

[Paulinemoreau]

Bravo pour cette magnifique video

la musique est parfaitement choisit pour illustrés les meilleures parcours de ce champion. Les images affreuses d hier resteront gravé a jamais dans ma tete, mais celle ci seront beaucoup plus presentent.

Beaucoup de courage a Eric Lamaze, la Groom d Hickstead et tous sont entourage.

RIP Champion.

[MRkaserfull]

Je ne m'y connait pas beaucoup en équitation j'en ai fait pendant 3 ans j'ai aprit beaucoup de chose mais jamais je ne serait arriver a leur niveau c'est deux la etait un super duo .En tout cas super montage super music pour un super belle hommage R.I.P. :(

[patafix221]

On ne t'oublira jamais ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

[Butla93]

Thank you Hickstead. Hope they have some good jumps up there for you.

[almondcroissants]

Godspeed, Hickstead.

[BarbwireChains]

oh i should add that showjumping will never be the same without watching him

[BarbwireChains]

i miss him

[Shawnanysven123]

RIP Hickstead, You will always be the champion of the world, you were a one of a kind horse that had the heart to jump

[EquaProductions]

Rest In Peace Hickstead, you will be missed. ♥

[KayThorne]

Rarely does one have the opportunity to witness a horse and rider comradeship such as we have seen with Eric Lamaze and the phenomenal Hickstead. They have inspired so many and ignited a level of pride in Canadian equestrian excellence not seen since the days of Jim Elder. Thank you Eric and Hickstead. We count our blessings although we shall miss this fine steed. Eric, may you carry on and continue to inspire us. Sincere condolences on the passing of your equine partner.

[breyerlover2448]

Hickstead, i hope you go have fun with all ur horsey friends in heaven RIP Hickstead >3

[icorletto97]

RIP HIckstead. One of the greatest horses in history, you will never be forgotten. You are an inspiration for many riders like me. An amazing team, you have brought joy into many people's hearts. You will never be forgotten, Hickstead. You are a true champion. <3

Somewhere in times own space,

There must be some sweet pastured place,

Where creeks sing on and tall grees grow,

For by the love that guides my pen,

I know great horses live again.

-Stanely Harrison

RIP Hickstead♥

[Nigusi1985]

Great video! Stand up for the champion! Hickstead the greatest ever!!

[sohoSify]

Repose en Paix......nous devons nous rappeler ce toi et d'Eric comme cela et non dans cette autre vidéo........ HICKSTEAD et ERIC pour toujours........

[Merlothot]

R.I.P hickstead We will never forget you <3

[Slick4everandever]

you wanted it, and you achieved it every time you entered that ring. your heart went into every stride and every fence. never did you go into a ring and not give it your all. Canadian equestrians will forever be blessed to have had you in our presence. You started off as a small horse who no one wanted until Eric came along and saw in you what other hadnt...a champion! together you changed each other's lives and the lives of all other equestrians who watched in awe. RIP Hickstead♥

[horsetrixs]

[116jewel]

Rest In Peace Hickstead. You will be loved and missed forever as you are one of the greatest horses of all time. I'm going to miss cheering for you on the other side of the TV, and I'll miss watching you take Eric to victory. You were an amazing horse and will never be forgotten, an inspiration to us all. My thoughts and condolences go to Eric Lamaze and everyone involved with this amazing horse. Gallop on Hickstead ♥

[balein23]

Hickstead,simply a champion!!!

Arrivederci,Hickstead,sarai sempre il migliore!

[DawnMM1]

Really nice video!

RIP Hickstead

[sakurachaan96]

Rest In Peace Champ :( <3 you are really true champion. The world is proud of YOU!

[longitudeandlatitude]

It's hard to believe that he passed away. I'm so honoured to have had the chance to experience this horse's amazing talent and heart. He was exquisite on his own, and paired with Eric they were legendary. Never forgotten :(

[cheermabify]

RIP Hickstead! <3 You were a true champion! All I know is that he passed...does anyone know how he died?

[sakurachaan96]

@cheermabify On November 06, 2011, at a competition in Verona, Italy, Hickstead collapsed shortly after finishing a round and died.

[cheermabify]

@sakurachaan96 OMG thats terrible! Did he have a heart attack or are the details still unknown? At least he died doing his favorite thing...horse showing.

[sakurachaan96]

@cheermabify heart attack caused his death presumably.... He was walking on the orbit with Eric,and he collapsed suddenly.

[silversunrise321]

RIP to one of the most incredible horses the world will ever see...

[ineslopium]

RIP to this amazing horse, and all my thoughts goes to Eric, who must be the saddest man in the world right now... To this wonderful Hickstead, and the beautiful couple he made with Eric.

[EquineDeviant]

My condolences to Eric on this terrible day.

Hickstead will never be forgotten <3

[LoveTurbo07]

I can't even begin to imagine how Eric feels right now. :(

Rest in peace, Hickstead. The world lost an absolutely amazing horse. We were all blessed to be able to watch him and Eric together. I mean really, what a team! Inspiring.

[Missdidi34]

RIP ♥

[Tijs4Life]

RIP HICKSTEAD <3

[balein23]

I love this vid!

[wolvesforever100]

my friend met him in the stampede!

[mishallka]

we all dream some day to get to this kind of level like eric ,or to have this fantastic horse ! i just love him ,

[empy5]

This is such a fantastic video ;DD Eric Lamaze and Hickstead are my favorite SJ team. My mare acts JUST like him. My friends and family all call her "little Hickstead",lol. The way you edited this video is just great ;D Faved and liked.

[longitudeandlatitude]

@empy5 Thanks very much! That means a lot :) Enjoy your horse!

[aurora20XX]

It seems that every rider bumps into that 'once in a lifetime' horse. I remember watching the individual competition when it first aired and when Eric Lamaze and Hickstead cleared the last fence, it felt like a little bit of history in the making.

[lisannek46]

he's is so good the best off de world !!!

[sainglain]

Yes Eric is a top rider but what about Hickstead? the best German, Dutch and French show jumping horses have top Thoroughbred (xx) blood in their

pedigree. Just Google, Allbreedpedigree and look up 2008 Olympic Gold medalist horse Hickstead - you'll see he has 10 different types of studbook in his breeding, not just 2.

[JackAndArora]

GO CANADA!!! I love being canadian :)

[Cacia97]

my coach beat eric lamaze.

[tysonsgirl18]

good vid :)

[Equestrian074]

Wow. Eric, I love you so much. I use you on a daily basis as my life example, because you had drugs, and my uncle died of an overdose, you are just living proof that life goes on, and they can rise to the top. Thanks Eric, and Hickstead. Also great job with the timing, clip choices and song choice. Love this video. And Eric, you are my hero, and living proof of things people think are impossible. Thank you ♥

[longitudeandlatitude]

@Equestrian074 That is a lovely comment and a great tribute, thank you :)

[Lisabab16]

2:26-2:28 Smoothest flying chande ever!

[Equestrian074]

OMG ERIC LAMAZE I LOVE YOU! I'M LIKE YOUR BIGGEST FAN!!! ♥

[TwisterKirby]

2:27 - 2:31 = I like how it sounds like the horse is helping to sing there XD

Amazing AMV, very nice timing and Hickstead and Lamaze are amazing!

[mosgem]

have you noticed that most horses go up and over the jump, but hickstead kind of ends up parralel to the jump. he can really get his knees up!!

[TwisterKirby]

@mosgem

I think that's part of the reason why Hickstead rarely ever touches the bars either. It's l-amazeing (haha, pun).

[ClairemontStable]

See, I jump stuff like this, but hot damn, that horse is nothing compaired to Morning.., in a good way, he's also awesome at his form!!

[helenamisty]

Wow :D

Nice Song ;)

[EquestrianAthlete]

YAY FOR ERIC <3

[stephanielovepaarden]

it's a wonderful horse!!

[pinkelie123]

Ce sont les meilleuurs!!!!! ( L )

[sonlightstables]

[Lisabab16]

I like how he respects his horses, that is why they can be the best.

[PinkBow180]

Exactly.

[multifluffrox]

[Lisabab16]

WOW! This video is amazing!

[pinkelie123]

Ohh mu good c les meilleuur quand hickstead va mouurir je vais pleuurer sa pas de bon sens ! ( L )
