WE WON GOLD!
Eric Lamaze, aboard his fantastic horse HICKSTEAD win individual show jumping gold at the 2008 Olympics in Hong Kong.
What a ride!
Hickstead is possibly the best jumper I've ever seen, and that horse took Lamaze from a suicidal cocaine addict to Olympic champion in the past 4 years.
Hickstead, this day is yours. I hope you get lots and lots of carrots until you're too fat to jump again. ;)
And congratulations again for Team Canada winning silver with great rides from Mac Cone on Ole (unfortunately injured), Jill Henselwood on Special Ed, and Ian Millar on In Style.
It was just so glorious hearing the Canadian anthem today, at midnight in Hong Kong. Lamaze was crying and I almost was too.
