A tribute to Hickstead ~ RIP.

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 :)

I must say 'thank you' for making such a beautiful video. It really showed their bond (Eric's and Hickstead's). We don't know why such tragic things happen, but we can be comforted by the fact that he died doing what he loved. Rest in peace, Hickstead. You will be greatly missed and NEVER forgotten.

@sillyfilly555 I love your comment.

I loved the bond they shared. It was very strong, and you could really tell they both loved competing together.

I feel so sorry for Eric's loss, you could tell in his smile how much Hickstead meant to him.

They truly are a beautiful pair to watch <3

Thank you so much to everyone for your heartfelt comments <3 Hickstead was a true athlete and he will be missed by THOUSANDS. He has made an impact on so many people and show jumping just wont be the same without the lil guy .

For people asking the song is 'tonight' by Li lykke

[kenteketje1]

@jamievt1 yep it's true people are gullible...

he loved him, i am sure he did! I didnt say he dont love his horse.

But love for money is bigger... And btw i specialize myself in horses..

I know evrything about them i got onmyself 4 horses..

And none of them died at the age of 14! NONE The thing that hickstead had was heartfailure... heartfailures are seen frequently in those sports... So think twice

btw do you still think the americans are in irak to enforce peace? Think about things

[jamievt1]

@kenteketje1 also to get into riding as a sport you have to have money, and the chances of winning are slime to none. you're dumb.
