The owner of this incredible horse is an asshole. this is another sad example of how ambition and a beautiful sport like showjumping is transformed into a massive event where money and status is the only important thing, like happens in many other sports, saddly in this one horses take the worst part. Is obvious no matter how they try to excuse themselves that Hickstead was overworked and probbably drugged... Its a shame his owner didnt retired him on time.... shame on him

@mercedesmarinful unless you are blind you should be able to see how much eric loved his horse. have you actually seen the clip when he died? look how upset eric was...its not about the money, or the horses age, its just the fact that bad things happen and people cant do anything about it. what are they supposed to do to save a horse thats heart just stopped beating? nothing. there was nothing anyone could do. he was ahealthy horse and he loved to jump. you can clearly see that. why stop him if

[RabbitTips101]

that is what he loved to do? he was a healthy horse and he did not die from jumping. he died of an accident. if you know anything about horses you would actually realize that just because a horse is amazing at something doesnt mean he was drugged or overworked. hickstead was a happy healthy horse who was great at what he loved to do. if you own horses who love to run and are great at it, would you keep them in their stall all day? no of course not, it would do more damage than good.

[RabbitTips101]

it would stop them from doing what they love and thats not fair, not to any horse. hickstead didnt die due to being overworked or drugs, he died of a tragic accident and if you cant get that through your head you are the real asshole for commenting on people's videos just to try to make people angry and try to prove your point that is obviously wrong. i would appreciate it if you would quit commenting on my video and let people who watch it love hickstead for what he was...a talented horse. RIP

If you give a horse stimulants, that will GREATLY raise blood pressure and very high blood pressure can and does cause aortic rupture.....

poor erick

yes he loved the horse and cared for him but they shouldn't have showed him so soon after his surgery.

@mercedesmarinful You can't be in showjumping unless you have a horse.. Why would he mistreat his partner? Do you know Eric Lamaze personally? Uh no.

@RabbitTips101 Hickstead did not died from an accident , he had a heart attack which can happen to anybody.
