The horse actually suffered a ruptured aorta, and death was inevitable. The way he seemed to carefully put the rider down before collapsing says everything about this horse's love for him. Watching an animal convulse like that would be horrible to witness when all you could do was watch helplessly.
I showed my mum and she said it might be a seizure cause the way it falls was no injury. Also showed my sister who loves horses and put her in tears. RIP Hickstead
One of the worst events for horses . Take a 1,200 pound horse and make it jump thousands of hours over high obstacles onto it's small ankles , stressing it's tendons , and frequently going painfully lame at an early age only to be put down , due to this abuse . Horses pay a terrible price for our entertainment , and the general public doesn't know this and riders keep jumping and deny there is a problem . There is !
not at all; horses LOVE to jump; I couldnt stop mine once i aimed it at a jump; Hickstead was not abused; horses wont or cant perform at this level in the public eye if they ARE abused. If u want to see horse abuse; check out the big sick lick class in the tennessee walking horse venue; now THATS ABUSE!!! the owners/trainers shd b fined and jailed...
Early age? Check out the ages of the horses doing cross country at the Tokyo Olympics. They are mostly well over the age of "early". 13/15/17 years old and still going strong. And they don't jump "thousands of hours". Jumping a course only takes a few minutes and these horses are bred and conditioned for it. And these horses are extremely valuable. You don't "...keep jumping and deny there is a problem" with horses like Hickstead.
Anuerysm is usually caused by a blood clot and blood clots are caused by injuries either internal or superficial.I tend to believe the horse died from a blood clot from jumping such demanding jumps .Just because you can train the horse to do something unnatural doesn't mean they like doing it .Their bodies break down it's proven science what these sports do to the equine body .It really sad you deny it even with the science to back it up.
@@debdurham9463 the science will tell the public whatever the sports officials of that particular sport wants it to know which is not always the truth; its whatever will keep the sport going and the money flowing.
What I find disturbing is that guy just sat there and watched it happen. Maybe he was in shock, but c'mon, he didn't even toss the crop down. At one point, seems he was even tapping Hicks's face with it. If that were MY horse, I would have been down there removing all the tack as fast as possible and just being there holding him, conforming him.. I don't get this guy's reaction.
He stood there holding the reins instead of getting down on the ground and consoling him. I cried when they had to knock my horse out to get his teeth floated. Unbelievable to watch this horrific scene.
God I'm in tears can't stop crying,I'm going through menopause and watching this ,I hope he felt no pain hes in pastures so green,god bless him he had a good life,😘💖😘💖😘✌😘💖💖
That Jockey could of walked over and comfort him!! He should of being put out too pasture and retired if his heart was that bad. And the owners of Hickstead should have being running too be by his side also
@Charlotte Ebel First of all, he’s a rider, not a jockey. Second of all, there was no real way to know anything was wrong with Hickstead. This was a tragic situation that was likely going to happen regardless if he were retired or not. Shame it happened at a show, but nobody could have known. Third of all, as someone who’s shown horses before, I know that only the competitor and the arena staff and volunteers are permitted in the ring, so no, Hickstead’s owners couldn’t have just run out there.
When an animal goes down, you want to be out of the way to allow the vets and training staff to help the horse. Also the bond between rider and horse is very strong (the way he fell shows that he tried to not fall onto the rider) and the rider is probably in shock and so the freeze is understandable. Also this condition in horses usually occurs without warning. Yes sometimes heart failure can be seen before hand by hearing of heart murmur and doing and echocardiogram but these can spontaneously appear too. I don't think a rider out there would knowingly compete a horse that has heart failure cause there would be evidence of that occurring. In this case there doesn't seem to be an evidence to show this. Most of the time if a horse has an extremely loud heart murmur, most of the time they will be given the last act of kindness. Sadly there are some out there that prefer to sell their horses to auction for profit instead of this last act. They are the ones one should be having a go at
I don't understand, was his rider in shock that he couldn't even throw his crop down? Why didn't he just fall to his knees in time of Hickstead's time of passing to be there for him.. Hickstead looked back to make sure he was safe and clear. Last minutes..
When a horse is thrashing around like that and you aren't sure why and what he might do and when, the last thing you want to do is get down on the ground with him and give in a nice hug. You could potentially get killed if you do. When the horse went down he was beyond saving at that point. And you are talking a very large animal here, not your child or grandfather. You can hold Grandpa's hand as he passes, but try that with a 1200 lb horse in his death throes and he could unintentionally take you with him.
@@DoubleDogDare54 Yeah, looks like my comment didn't make it, so here it is again. I have horses and am no stranger, thank you.. You could have answered the questions with whatever reply you had without being a condescending dick. F Off.
@@bettyhappschatt3467 A moment to do what? Hug the horse? Are you really that crazy? The horse was flailing around, in the process of actively dying, and you think cuddling him would ease what was going on with him? If he lunged or rolled or caught you with a hoof, he could kill you.
Clearly, when the horse first went down, he stepped away to allow it to get back up - probably thinking it had just stumbled at first. Horses need a LOT of space to get up and if you’ve ever been near one you would know that. Once it was clear the horse was fitting he did the right thing by staying calm and avoiding the legs because, like it or not, horses thrash and kick about during seizures and can seriously injure anyone near (or themselves)! You are being really harsh. He could well have been saying calming soothing words at the time (we don’t know) to the horse who, sadly, was oblivious anyway. It was having a painful and severe heart attack according to the news afterwards. It could have happened at any time …..like it does to humans. This animal was super fit so it would have been a massive shock to all concerned
@@anmariegibbs5713 There was a point when continuing to pull on the reins and tap with his crop was ridicules. Clearly there was a HUGE problem with the horse and he should have stopped, shocked or not. I showed jumpers and fell with them and saw many falls. I'm not saying he was purposely trying to be cruel but I doubt it helped the horse. TBH, as I write this, I am baffled why he continued. Maybe to make the horse feel something familiar, normalcy? hmmm
What the bloody hell was that moronic rider doing, standing round with his stick in hand whilst HIS horse was in his death throws ? FGS the arena marshals showed more care and compassion.
Selber pfui, für einen aorta abriss kann keiner was, nur weil ein pferd live stirbt heißt es micht das nicht oft genug pferde genau so auf der wiese zusammen klappen
CPR for full grown horse : Life-saving cardiopulmonary resuscitation performing on full grown horses suffering cardiac arrest, driving their knees into the mare’s chest, or sitting on the horse’s chest and bouncing up and down. Support it with mechanical intermittent positive lung ventilation at a rate of 10 breaths per minute with 100% oxygen, and Ringer’s lactate solution (a mixture of sodium chloride, sodium lactate, potassium chloride, and calcium chloride in water) was given. Give it a shot of adrenaline in a bid to restore her heartbeat. (6mg of adrenaline was given intravenously, followed by 5mL of heparinised saline). CPR for foals : Use both the hands to squeeze the resuscitation bag at a rate of 10 to 20 breaths per minute, for forcing the air into the lungs. Check heartbeat. If it is less than 40 beats per minute or it is less than 60 per minute but not increasing; then prepare to give chest compressions. Place the Foal on a firm, dry surface. But unfortunately with Hickstead it was an aorta rupture..
Aortic rupture - exactly. So you just wrote a bunch of stuff above for no good reason because it does not apply to what happened to Hickstead and would be impractical-to-impossible to do unless the horse goes into cardiac arrest in an equine hospital.
@@DoubleDogDare54 a bunch of stuff :)) try to write something nearly as intelligent an specific as i did :) We see in the video a horse collapsing , at the moment of the collapse there is no first aid team to be seen in the area, which should be present in high performance areas The function of first aid team on site (also with humans) , ist to apply first life saving measures as soon as possible . As it is in these first 2 minutes that its eventually still possible to do a eventual restart of the hart (either perform CPR/ electrochoque AED / or adrenaline injection )or apply oxygene. i personally dont see anyone in this video that really knows what he or she should do at the moment of the collapse. it doesn't matter that the cpr measures would have been pointless. As its not possible to make an accurate diagnosis for an aorta rupture in these first crucial 2 minutes anyway. A specific Diagnosis for an aorta rupture may be confirmed by ultrasound or X-ray computed tomography (CT) scan, later on. same goes for humans

@@lionking7888 Not likely. It’s more of a genetic and aging type problem. The walls of the artery get thin so not as strong as they should be, so balloon out and eventually burst, just like an over inflated balloon. The heart keeps beating, so pushes the blood out of the artery. Death is almost instant and there is no way to treat it. That is why an aortic aneurism is called a widow maker in humans. No symptoms, no warning.
@@sueregan2782 this poor horse death was not instantly its clear that he suffered a while like we see how he tries to get up. In humans like you described the aorta thinning goes with high bloodpressure. These kind sports should be approved first by medical exams to ensure that all horses should be healthy. This horse hasn't reach 15 year thats not old for a sporthorse. Why the name widowmaker, does this happens only to men ? Btw thanks for the explanation.
@@lionking7888 Maybe instantly is too fast an expression. He seized as his blood was pouring out into his abdomen, so, it did take a couple minutes, but it was irreversible. In people they sometimes find the bulge on ultrasound and do surgery to strengthen the aorta before it bursts.

@ Kim Yarbrough Ach, ja? Ein Blick in das Gesicht des Pferdes vor dem Sprung mit dem aufgerissen Maul und dem vielen Weiss im Auge, zeigt ein anderes Bild.
@Leslie Gibbons true that is at least a positive act instead the long exhausting races that the horse must endure. A loyal horse to his rider can give al it has untill total exhausting the rider must beware the limit his horse can take especially in those races. Arabs are the ultimate champions in endurance races.
@Leslie Gibbons arabians are well known for their loyal charachter and high intelligence, if the owner falls while riding they turn to help as if they understand the need for their owner. My grandfather had allways a couple mare and stallion. They enjoy and are made for running its in their nature. What line of breed you have Egyptian line or Peninsula?
@Leslie Gibbons yes they can touch your soul with their whole being isva special experience only true souls can feel. You have them buyd or as new born and in what climate you live.
@Leslie Gibbons thats best way of living at farm or ranch. My grandfather had a farm and his 2 horses were his joy and hobby. For children its exciting to grow up with horses. Do you have children?
I ride horses to But you could see the stress in the horses eyes horseback riding is a very dangerous sport and we need to be more careful with the horses
Így nem tud felállni! Forgács mögé, tolni hátul, dönteni oldalt a fejét (NEM A ZABLÁNÁL) húzni. Sajnos ezért rossz a lovaknak, mert egyesek pénzéhezek, nem foglalkoznak az egészségükkel. Egy csontkovács helyre tudta volna hozni.
Purtroppo alla fiera cavalli di Verona in Italia succede ogni tanto un simile evento😭😭 ,anche in questa occasione era sempre a Verona.Qualche anno dopo pure un fantino è stato ucciso dal proprio cavallo 😭😭
Kein Wunder, das so etwas passiert, und das Pferd hat oft genug zu verstehen gegeben, das sein Reiter nicht gut mit ihm umgeht !!!!!!!!!!!!! Wann lernen die Menschen dazu? Man sollte die Reuter auch mal über Hindernisse jagen und dazu noch mit 70 KG extra Gewicht beladen.
Der tod dieses pferdes hatte nichts mit dem reiter oder dem reitsport direkt zu tun, das er überhaupt so lange lebte war wohl eher dem reitsport zu verdanken
Shame on the rider. Anybody staying around tries to make dying easier for the horse. Exept for the rider. He just stands there doing nothing. Not even touch or talk to his horse.
There wasn't anything that could be done for him, how do you know he didn't speak to the horse. I saw this horse at the world Equestrian Games in 2010. He was just as brave for a different writer is he was for Eric. Sometimes horses run with their legs when they're dying even when they've been euthanized with a shot.
@@BranikWolfe I get it and everyone is entitled to their own opinion and I’m just expressing mine. And as far as I know no one ever threw a saddle on John Ritter and raced him for sport either.
So he should sit on the floor in the way of a convulsing 1,000 lbs animal plus the vets and crew trying to help save his horse. I guess if being in the way is how you show heart, then more power to you.

alleen het iedee da ge der ni meer zij doet al zeer waarom toch ?? xxxx3
Well well well i see they've edited out the bit where the rider whacked the horse in the head for not getting up .
There was an instant where the horse looked at him, the whip was at the horses head. Rider was standing stiff looking down on the horse.
@@bettyhappschatt3467 Betty Betty Betty the poor horse had a massive heart attack naturally he'd be laying there wide eyed whats your point your like all the others are avoiding the issue thanx 💋
Quelle honte de pousser autant l animal, sauter au plus haut,le.plus vite,tout ça pour encore le FRIC....
Et voilà le résultat , comme beaucoup d'autres que l'on ne sait pas
Et la le cavalier qui regarde,pffff ça m enerve
Доскакался наездник? Ради призов и славы... Эээээх.. Ты живи дальше с этим грузом . А чудесное животное покоится с миром. Там ему легче
Бедная лошадка, до такой степени износли её своими тренировками.
Nature?
Sterkte we misssen hem ❤❤😩😩
He died doing something he loved!! This horse loved jumping and the applause from the audience!!! RIP !!!!
But if given a choice, he would have preferred a life in a lush paddock.
@ Kim Yarbrough Ach, ja? Ein Blick in das Gesicht des Pferdes vor dem Sprung mit dem aufgerissen Maul und dem vielen Weiss im Auge, zeigt ein anderes Bild.
Incorrect
what happened was it an aneurysm or a seizure or do they know?
Looks like a heart attack.
Ruptured Aorta (vein to the heart)
@@griffinartandairbrushing3174 so unfortunate
@@griffinartandairbrushing3174 what kind of horse is he?
@@katieblake8911 He was a Dutch Warmblood.
Dont they check the horses before performing like at endurance races then they have a better view on the horses health?
@Leslie Gibbons true that is at least a positive act instead the long exhausting races that the horse must endure. A loyal horse to his rider can give al it has untill total exhausting the rider must beware the limit his horse can take especially in those races. Arabs are the ultimate champions in endurance races.
@Leslie Gibbons arabians are well known for their loyal charachter and high intelligence, if the owner falls while riding they turn to help as if they understand the need for their owner. My grandfather had allways a couple mare and stallion. They enjoy and are made for running its in their nature. What line of breed you have Egyptian line or Peninsula?
@Leslie Gibbons yes they can touch your soul with their whole being isva special experience only true souls can feel. You have them buyd or as new born and in what climate you live.
@Leslie Gibbons 2 young and a mature one, they can reach 40 years when treated well. Are you a breeder? I live in Europe.
@Leslie Gibbons thats best way of living at farm or ranch. My grandfather had a farm and his 2 horses were his joy and hobby. For children its exciting to grow up with horses. Do you have children?
Rust zacht kampioen
Rust zacht we missen je heel erg
My deepest compassion for Eric Lamaze and the Canadian Team in this moment, Eric had to let go a loved companion
I ride horses to
But you could see the stress in the horses eyes horseback riding is a very dangerous sport and we need to be more careful with the horses
Yeah, but his death couldn't been prevented
@@Kimberly00000 very true it was Too much for this poor horse
This poor horse dying like this ... not very dignified for him RIP xxx

Így nem tud felállni! Forgács mögé, tolni hátul, dönteni oldalt a fejét (NEM A ZABLÁNÁL) húzni. Sajnos ezért rossz a lovaknak, mert egyesek pénzéhezek, nem foglalkoznak az egészségükkel. Egy csontkovács helyre tudta volna hozni.
Жалко лошаду люди без пошадний для скота они не пашада не делать жалка лошада
Hickstead [*]
Rust zacht
ME DUELE EL ALMA!😢😢
He literally burst his heart for his rider.
rust zacht lieve hickstead
Quelle horrible musique pour accompagner la fin tragique de ce pauvre cheval
Purtroppo alla fiera cavalli di Verona in Italia succede ogni tanto un simile evento😭😭 ,anche in questa occasione era sempre a Verona.Qualche anno dopo pure un fantino è stato ucciso dal proprio cavallo 😭😭
😭😭😭😭
So sad
Terrible loss of a beautiful animal.
Rust in vrede .♥
Не надо винить людей которые отдали жизнь этому спорту!!!!
Zo zielig ik ben helemaal geschrokken
Zoooo Zielig ;( MIs You Hickstead Love You Rust Z8 EE<
Zoweehh 03 idd ik mis jou heel erg hickstead zust ze ik miss jou
Kein Wunder, das so etwas passiert, und das Pferd hat oft genug zu verstehen gegeben, das sein Reiter nicht gut mit ihm umgeht !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wann lernen die Menschen dazu?
Man sollte die Reuter auch mal über Hindernisse jagen und dazu noch mit 70 KG extra Gewicht beladen.
Der tod dieses pferdes hatte nichts mit dem reiter oder dem reitsport direkt zu tun, das er überhaupt so lange lebte war wohl eher dem reitsport zu verdanken
Terrible end for a great horse. Why someone felt the urge to film it is beyond me.
The whole show was filmed, he just died infront of a ground camera
Poor thing😥😥😥😥
Ik moest huilen
Shame on the rider. Anybody staying around tries to make dying easier for the horse. Exept for the rider. He just stands there doing nothing. Not even touch or talk to his horse.
Wow, it certainly isn't your place to criticize. Have you ever heard of being in shock, what a heartless comment.
Its not always someone's first instinct to jump in when they don't know what to do or whats happening. Have some couth
Agreed I’d be bawling and comforting my horse 😢
There wasn't anything that could be done for him, how do you know he didn't speak to the horse. I saw this horse at the world Equestrian Games in 2010. He was just as brave for a different writer is he was for Eric. Sometimes horses run with their legs when they're dying even when they've been euthanized with a shot.
It is also extremely dangerous to be near their legs and the horse was very tight to the fence when he went down
Как жалко коня
Rusht zach
This is ridiculous, y’all really need to stop using these beautiful creatures for sport.
Horses (and people) die from aortic ruptures all the time. John Ritter died of one while acting. It had nothing to do with Hickstead being an athlete.
@@BranikWolfe I get it and everyone is entitled to their own opinion and I’m just expressing mine. And as far as I know no one ever threw a saddle on John Ritter and raced him for sport either.
человечество деграданское . надо запретить конный рабский спорт .
😔
15 yrs…
Old?
No nono
bruh i would drop down and die with him if my horse did that to me i couldnt take the pain of love
А што с лошадью случилась можете на русский язык перевести я не понимаю англиский
😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔💔 Run FREE kleiner Held
Abartig extremer Missbrauch eines Tieres ohne jeglichen Respekt vor dem schönen Tier!!!
😔😣😢
Cosa gli avete fatto maledetti????
🥺
Noooo
😭 ik hou van paarden
The rider hasn't got a heart because he is standing and not sitting on the floor while his horse is in pain 😢😭😢
So he should sit on the floor in the way of a convulsing 1,000 lbs animal plus the vets and crew trying to help save his horse. I guess if being in the way is how you show heart, then more power to you.
kippenvel arm beestje rust zacht
Загоняли бедную лошадь!
Nooit t paard zijn schuld
