RIP Hickstead. :(

Yes he was one of my favourites too :cry: Real presence on top of all that talent. His rider and groom must be devastated.
 
What a terrible thing to happen. Appartantly, footage of him collapsing is all over youtube. A friend posted this tribute on FB... This is the way this incredible horse should be remembered.

Lamaze & Hickstead were an incredible partnership and I find the footage absolutely breathtaking.

Rest in Peace Hickstead, go and fly with the angels :cry:
