Hickstead, the “superstar” stallion that carried Canadian equestrian champion Eric Lamaze to Olympic gold-medal glory in Beijing in 2008, died suddenly during a competition in Italy on Sunday. My heart goes out to Eric.

It's no surprise. All professional showjumpers are bound to die young with how hard they're pushed.

I feel sad for the loss of his life, but not for the loss to everyone else who just cares about his career.

Actually Showjumpers are better taken care of the racing Thoroughbreds.

Even so, they're still pushed too hard.

I was very sad to hear this on the radio today (the fact that his death was announced on the news is a testament to what he and Eric achieved together). They've made some great memories for Canada. :(
