Ariane Gauthier Webboard User Reg: 11-23-2010 Posts: 817 Loc: St-Lazare, Qc Offline	Just wanted to share the look of my facebook page today. About 30 friends have the arm band and many other have the picture of this great horse Eric is riding at The Royal Winter Fair in Toronto tonight. So we can remember what a great horse Hickstead was. It is now official that Hickstead die of a reptured aorta at the end of his competion. The net is full of vid of the event, I don`t feel like posting the death of this great horse, just wanted to share the lost of the number one jumping horse in the world. Lucifer!

Eric rode him to perfection. The epitome of teamwork. Had to be Eric's once in a lifetime mount. What a loss. MY DOGS...MY RULES

One thing Eric said was that when Hickstead went down, he went down in a manner that suggested that he wanted to be sure not to hurt Eric. If you have even seen them work together, this is not hard to believe at all. http://news.nationalpost.com/2011/11/09/hickstead-was-worried-about-me-gold-medal-winning-eric-lamaze-says/ He died doing what he loved with the person he loved. RIP Hickstead. You and Eric will meet up again at the Bridge....
