BRO SOMEONE DIED AND YOU TALKING ABOUT THE FUCKIN YEAR

do you even care about that horse at this point

Stormwolf102 yeah I heard Eric didn't look for another horse for a few years after hicksteads death because he was morning him

Stormwolf102 also if a horse lays down it can be because of colic. He was waving his whip around before her seized up meaning that if he thought it was colic the best thing to do is to get the horse up.

Stormwolf102 he was waving the crop around because Eric thought Hickstead was colicing and Eric was trying to encourage Hickstead to get up.

No one can imagine this bad,but Eric saw quick he had a Aorta abuse,sad , R.I.P.

Stripeyhorse studios colic takes awhile before it gets too serious, it isn’t a sudden thing like that, there would have been multiple symptoms and signs beforehand that the horse was colicing.

Have I seen this comment before? ... ... Nahh

I doubt poor Hickstead gave a thought to his rider as he was collapsing. RIP Hickstead.

He died doing what he loved that’s for sure. He was a horse who not only loved his owner to the point that even in severe pain he would still protect his owner but he genuinely loved his job

He didn’t go down with any thoughts other than what’s happening there pwah. Ur funny. the dudes heart exploded he fucking went down period.

@@Misanthropic9294 You could see him go down gently you fooI

Me2

Why he died?

@@austejalenksaite7597 er ist innerlich verblutet

@@austejalenksaite7597 he has an aortenabriss

And now its totilas too😪😭😭😭

Miserabel rider

@Rylee_foodie same it happened when I'm 7

Not 9 years old. 12 years old

​@@Hee_naa look at the date of comment 🤓

Hä

BumbleBoob , bullshit, he died been deserted ....this guy stepped back and actually used the whip to hit the horse in the head. He did absolutely NOTHING to comfort the Horse........ZERO .😡

D90Girl I didn’t see him hit his horse at all. What are you on about?

@@DucatiQueen if you watch interviews Eric was completely broken after losing Hickstead he called him the greatest horse in the world. The reason Eric stood back is because there was nothing he could do and bc he was just in shock

Kinda random but that was my family’s horse. I remember when I was little watching it win the gold in benjing.

The last look was saying, You have killed me, are you happy now????

@@davidgray1515 You can believe that if you want. But anyone who knew Eric and Hickstead, or paid even a little bit of attention to how they interacted would know that they loved each other. Hickstead's last act was to make sure Eric didn't get hurt, that says a lot to me about exactly how much he loved Eric.

That horse was pretty bad at racing so I'm not sad that he is gone

Brittany Daley you are an idiot. Plain and simple

@@brittanydaley5 bro 💀

100% true BUT ITS SOO SAD 😭😭😭😭😭

i'm just sad he didn't get to hug Hickstead before he died. they had such a deep bond, watching him die right in front of his eyes has to be the most horrific and miserable thing to experience. i wish he'd had the chance to say goodbye first.

Christie,NM,Murdoch I agree

I would have sat down by his head and cried

@@ooglyfrog9638 me too. I can't even imagine how that must have felt. I am crying watching this.

Huh, I never thought of it that way. You're probably right

Hickstead was not colicing. If he had collapsed due to colicing, he never would have made it into the ring in the first place.Colic doesn't come on in a flash. There are a lot of preliminary signs that any horseperson would catch long before colic got to an extreme situation, IF you're paying attention to your horse. If your horse does try to roll, due to colic, then it is your absolute duty to keep that horse up on its feet, and keep it walking, no matter how many hours it takes, no matter how much coaxing. You may have to kick him/her in the butt, until the vet gets there. If the colic is just in the stomach, the horse can be intubated to release the gas from the stomach. (Horses can't burp). If the colon is affected, that's a lot harder to deal with. That's when horses feel a lot of pain in their gut, and that's why they want to roll so much. And in that case, when they roll so much, they end up with twisted gut, which is pretty much the killer in these cases. In all my 50 years working with horses, Colic is pretty rare. But, let me tell you, the high protein content of alfalfa is a culprit.Feed it sparingly. And if you're feeding your horse anything over 12%, make sure you're working your horse a lot. Just plain oats have 11% protein, and unless you're really working your horse, you don't need anything more than that. If you're working your buddy, a quart in the morning and a quart at night is good. Maybe a little dabble of raw black strap molasses (from the feed mill) to make the grain a little more yummy and add a bit of iron. You want to get the young'uns used to the bit, cover it in molasses before you put it in their mouth. My young'uns were educated this way, and as soon as they heard the sound of the bridle, they already had their mouths open just waiting for that molasses covered bit. It's such an easy training tool. You're giving them a gift, and now they love you and look forward to their 'classroom' time. Any training session should be something the young horse looks forward to. AND, don't forget, the horse is not a human. It's not your pet. Horses are highly intelligent, and very socially structured animals. When deprived of their social structure, they can get severely stressed. I didn't mean to give a lecture here, but I am totally into horses. Anybody who endeavours to own a horse has to understand horse psychology. If you want to have a REAL horse under your ass you'd better really understand that animal. Pink ties in its mane may be cute, but that's not what the horse needs or wants. A horse is not a pet, it's a very large 1,000 lb herd animal with specific needs.

@@brendadale852 he may have thought that hickstead had gotten tied up. My mare got tied up once and laid down while I was riding.

@@brendadale852 34 years of owning horses and yes, colic can come in in a flash....there’s several causes. Some take their time, some come like this.

What a joke this is. The wrong creature bit the dust.

Using the whip to make him stand up???

@@AjnosMitSukarm Eric did not use the whip to make him stand up. He had the whip reversed and poked Hickstead a couple times, because he did not realize what was happening to the horse. The horse's movements mimicked a bad colic, and when a horse colics, you want him up and off the ground immediately. Eric was in shock as his beloved horse died right there in front of him.

oh yeah, imagine how traumatic for the guy responsible for the horse's death, the horse who died from the rupture of an artery because he was forced to jump in stupid competitions.

@@henryandthehorses5085 everything okay at home kiddo?

@@henryandthehorses5085 uhm. You can die from heart failure and a burst artery from simply walking through a park

I was with my precious mare when she died of a heart attack. She was 40 and passed on with her head in my arms. I had her all her life and she loved galloping and jumping

I was late for this also..., and I haven't worked, trained and bred horses; since 2003...; but this brought up tears and sweet/horrible memories. I had a young mare die of heart attack..., right infront of me...; so I know EXACTLY how Eric felt in that moment 😢 Your first instinct is "must be cholic"..., because you just cannot fathom, that the horse that ran/jumped so frisky and strong, just a minute ago..; could "just die" like that. 😭 You've bred them , loved them, trained them and had so many WONDERFUL times together. And you KNOW You've taken care of this horse, as a family member and given them ALL THE BEST IN THEIR LIFE !; treated them like a KING..., (or in my case, a QUEEN)...; and You've loved them as your own child, since the moment they "landed in your arms", at birth. ❤ How can a thing like this happen to a healthy , happy , and GREATLY LOVED horse!? The truth is... , It's the ups and downs of loving and living. All you can do is your best!; and cherish the gift of love, that the animals and people in our lives, gifts us. No one can ruler of life and death, on this wonderful planet, FULL OF LIFE; that we're been given. Rejoice over LIFE AND LOVE ❤; and hold your loved ones close. Tomorrow, it might ALL be taken away.... within a blink of an eye...

I miss my babies.... both 4-legged and 2-legged... Bleeuugh... it sucks getting old 😜

He was not trying to get up. He was having a seizure

@@terrypfeffer8504 no his heart was crashing

He was trying to run all horses do that why there dying its just instinct but I light to think they are ruining towards the light 😊

It's called an aortic dissection.

If the horse is physically capable and enjoying himself, then nothing is wrong with it! It’s good for horses to work as they get older (which 15 is just getting into), just like it is for humans to maintain physical activity throughout their life

Die Zuschauer sind nicht die Armen. Mir tut das Pferd leid, ohne diesen blöden Sport wäre das Pferd älter geworden!!!

@@gabrielescharnhorst6668 Ohne diesen Sport hätte dieses Pferd niemals gelebt.

@@gabrielescharnhorst6668 der sport hat nichts mir einem aorta abriss zu tun, es passiert überall auf den weiden, einmal sogar auf einem tiermarkt direkt vor meinen augen, es war klar das er einen herzfehler hatte aber die Tierärzte gaben vor jeder prüfung das ok, also bevor du den reitsport verteufelst informiere dich bitte

@Frances Sweeney, Thank you for being so sensible and sensitive. ❤❤

If a horse professional thinks this is colic, he should change professions !!

Hannoveraner zum verlieben hart falen

moskifarm kannst du es mir bitte etwas genauer erklären ?

Hannoveraner zum verlieben Aortaabriss..man kennt die Ursache davon bis heute nicht. Kann angeblich jedem Pferd passieren, allerdings passiert es meist bei Sportpferden.. Das pferd...verblutet innerlich. Es ist grausam...einfach nur grausam.

Heartwave 😢😢😭😭😭😭 danke für die Antwort

Hannoveraner zum verlieben genau genommen hatt beim Pferd die wichtigste Ader im Herz versagt. Was zum schnellen Herzstillstand führt. Der Aorta Abriss....

he didn’t get close as he was kicking out and he thought that he was colicing or had just fell over etc so he was giving him space

I agree with you, @lemon They are not really ♡♡ their horse😭😭😭😭

Aortic ruptures aren't caused by being pushed too hard, it can happen ANYWHERE at any moment, someone in the comments horse had a aortic rupture while in their STALL and all that horse did was do trail rides maybe once a year. And they couldn't get the tack off, Eric loved Hickstead more than you can imagine, he was considering to quit the sport after Hicksteads death, not to mention Hickstead loved what he did.

Douglas Griffiths yeah my mums horse Tiggy broke her neck in a nasty accident- she reared and fell over backwards. She was alive for half an hour after then she slipped away. We knew when she'd gone because she thrashed like that. The vet was immediately on scene but there was nothing he could do

is das pferd tod

yes, the horse is dead. I assume you meant 'tot' not 'tod'?

Douglas Griffiths who are you? The vet of Hickstead?

100% agree. Our mare had hers standing in her stall, and all she ever did was trailrides maybe once a year...

I agree

I guess they weren't sure if Hickstead would get back up. Although I do wish that they would at least came over to see if he was alright.

what did you want them to do give cpr ??? a thrashing horse is very dangerous i knew what was happening straight away

SmallPet Sweets BTW everybody on hand who could help did help all they could

There would be nothing the could of done unfortunately :( xxx

Horsesare heaven you d9nt have any idea about horse show jumping , he was brave horse , the sir hicksead was completed the course of the competition, then he died at the arena 💙💙💙💙

naif abdullah I'm not sure what you mean

Horsesare heaven I'm sorry but you're an idiot. This horse died doing what he loved, and was treated well and was healthy. He died by internal bleeding, something that could have happened when he was just standing in pasture because it was a weakened artery. Nothing could have been done.

Hunts With Wolves ok...I respect your opinion but I can't agree with you. While he may have been well taken care of he still died uncomfortably

Horsesare heaven Death is rarely ever comfortable and the bit and harness had nothing to do with it. The cause of death made the bit the least of his concerns, if any. Had he been on a bed of feathers the death would have been, although fast, agonizing. Heart attacks, failures and any defects like that are highly painful for animal or man. I'm simply stating your comment makes no sense, because the tack had absolutely no contributions to any discomfort this horse experienced.
