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, tragically ending a partnership that helped push the country to the top of the sport of show jumping.
Montreal-born Lamaze, the world's current No. 1 rider, had just taken Hickstead through a nearly faultless 13-fence course at the Rolex FEI World Cup in Verona, Italy, when the 15yearold horse abruptly collapsed and died.
"We finished our round, I circled and was leaving the ring, and he collapsed and died of an apparent heart attack," Lamaze said in a news release.
